Quick Beginnings for DB2 Connect

Appendix E. List Files, Bind Files, and Packages

This appendix lists the bind files contained in different .lst files shipped with the product. Bind packages are generated specifically for each platform. Each package name can be mapped back to the client platform.

In the following tables, under the Package Name columns, each DB2 bind package is represented in a coded format. For example, for the file name SQLabxYz:

• SQL identifies the bind package as a DB2 utility,

• ab identifies the utility,

• x represents the last digit of the year the product became available,

• Y represents the platform of the client,

• z represents the modification level.

You can use the ddcspkgn command to determine the package name for individual bind files or list (.lst) files. This command is found in the INSTHOME/sqllib/bin directory, where INSTHOME is the home directory of the instance owner.

For example, on an Linux system, enter the following command with the bind file in the local directory:

   INSTHOME/sqllib/bin/ddcspkgn db2ajgrt.bnd

The Y value for Linux platforms maps to xLz,
