Administration Guide: Planning

2.1 Chapter 14. DB2 and High Availability on Sun Cluster 2.2

DB2 Connect is supported on Sun Cluster 2.2 if:

• The protocol to the host is TCP/IP (not SNA)
• Two-phase commit is not used. This restriction is relaxed if the user configures the SPM log to be on a shared disk (this can be done through the spm_log_path database manager configuration parameter), and the failover machine has an identical TCP/IP configuration (the same host name, IP address, and so on).

2.2 Appendix E. National Language Support

The first paragraph in the section entitled "Deriving Code Page Values" states the following:

   The application code page is derived from the active environment
   when the database connection is made. If the DB2CODEPAGE
   registry variable is set, its value is taken as the application code page.

This is not always true for applications coded to use the CLI interface. The CLI code layer will use the locale settings in some cases, even if the user has set the DB2CODEPAGE registry variable.
