6Once a DB2 product has been installed, additional DB2 products can be 6added. If you use the db2setup command to add products the 6following recommendations and restrictions apply.
6Recommendations
6Both the installed product and the product being added should be at the 6same code level. For example, DB2 ESE Server Version 8 FixPak 5 is 6already installed and you want to add the DB2 Information Integrator 6product. In this case, DB2 Information Integrator should also be at the 6Version 8 FixPak 5 level.
