This version of the universal JDBC driver will also expire on July 1, 2003. If you are using or plan to use the universal JDBC driver based on DB2 UDB Version 8 FixPak 1, download the certified version of the universal JDBC driver from the following FTP site: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/db2/fixes/db2v8fp1_ujdbc_fix You need to download the following files: java/db2jcc.jar java/sqlj.zip Before downloading these files, stop all DB2 applications on your system that use the JDBC driver, back up the current version of the files under $DB2_INSTALL_DIR/java (on UNIX-based platforms) or $DB2_INSTALL_DIR\java (on Windows-based platforms), and put the new files there with the same permission and ownership. $DB2_INSTALL_DIR is the root directory where DB2 Version 8 is installed.
