Release Notes


9.0 Installation and Configuration Supplement


9.1 Federated Server Functionality Not Available

The distributed join installation feature and associated federated system functionality, as documented, are not currently supported with DB2 UDB Version 6.1.


9.2 Setting Up Server Communications

This section states that eNetwork Communications Server for AIX V5.0.2.4 is the minimum required level. This has changed to V5.0.2.5, which can be downloaded from:

   http://service.software.ibm.com/cgi-bin/support/rs6000.support/downloads

Select AIX General Software Fixes, AIX Fix Distribution Service, AIX Version 4 & PTF Number (4 character minimum), and enter search string 5.0.2.5. Select Find Fix. Once it is listed, select Get Fix Package, and follow the instructions.


9.3 Using The Command Line Processor to Configure Server Communications - Configuring APPC on the Server

The DB2SERVICETPINSTANCE registry variable must be set globally, so that all instances on a given machine can obtain its value. The command to set this globally is:

   db2set -g db2servicetpinstance=<instance name>

If DB2SERVICETPINSTANCE is not set, and multiple instances are configured to support APPC connections, unpredictable results will occur; that is, it will not be possible to predict which instance listens for the default TPs.

The list of supported clients should be changed to:

   - DB2 for AS/400 V3R2 and V4 (or higher)

Select AIX General Software Fixes, AIX Fix Distribution Service, AIX Version 4 & PTF Number (4 character minimum), and enter search string 5.0.2.5. Select Find Fix. Once it is listed, select Get Fix Package, and follow the instructions.

This section states that if only a single instance will be accessed by the host or AS/400 client, there is no need to specify the DB2SERVICETPINSTANCE registry value. This should be changed to:

   If there is only a single instance configured to accept inbound APPC connections,
   there is no need to set the DB2 SERVICETPINSTANCE registry value.
