Application Building Guide

Chapter 6. Building HP-UX Applications

This chapter provides detailed information for building embedded SQL applications on HP-UX. In the script files, commands that begin with db2 are Command Line Processor (CLP) commands. Refer to the Command Reference if you need more information about CLP commands.

Notes:

1. You may get a warning similar to the following when compiling programs on HP-UX:

      (Warning) At least one PA 2.0 object file (<filename>.o) was detected.
      The linked object may not run on a PA 1.x system.
   

   where <filename> is the program file you are compiling.

   Unless you have a PA_RISC 1.x system, this warning does not apply. You may add the option +DAportable to both the compile and link steps. This option will generate code compatible across PA_RISC 1.x and 2.0 workstations, and will suppress the warning. However, the use of this option has negative performance implications, and therefore, has not been included in the script files in this chapter.

2. If you are migrating DB2 from HP-UX Version 10 or earlier to HP-UX Version 11, your DB2 programs must be re-precompiled with DB2 on HP-UX Version 11 (if they include embedded SQL), and must be re-compiled. This includes all DB2 applications, stored procedures, user-defined functions and user exit programs. As well, DB2 programs that are compiled on HP-UX Version 11 may not run on HP-UX Version 10 or earlier. DB2 programs that are compiled and run on HP-UX Version 10 may connect remotely to HP-UX Version 11 servers.
