This FixPak is a complete replacement of the product without the License Use Management (LUM) key. Loading this FixPak onto some previous versions and/or release of DB2 High Performance Unload for Windows may result in error message: "INZU406E: No license has been found for High Performance Unload". To resolve this error message, you will need to contact IBM Service to order the appropriate LUM key for the version/release you want to install. Reference Compid: 5724B9002 to be fastpath routed to the queue for this problem. 2.0 CORRECTED KNOWN PROBLEMS This FixPak corrects the following problems: -Now supports DB2 Version 8 as well as DB2 Version 7 -In previous revisions of the User's Guide, there was a note in Chapter 2 - Section, "HPU configuration file". The note indicated that if the db2hpu.cfg file is modified, then you must run the command $TOPHPU/bin/db2hpu -configuration in order for changes to take affect. This is no longer required and the -configuration parameter is no longer needed. -On EEE systems, you may now unload into a combined, single file as well as into separate output files per partition. Obviously you get maximum parallel performance if they are seperate files per partition. -Fix: fully qualified uname not parsed properly -Changed: Suppression of shared memory -Changed: suppression of memory based configuration, -c is now obsolete -Changed: completely reworked the conversion engine -Changed: use ICU instead of iconv -Fix: issues with mixed code page and ICF -Fix: lifted the 2Gb file limit on all plateform -Changed: reworked the run engine -Added: support of column level selection in SELECT clause -Added: support of SMS and DMS backup. EE and EEE (except for LOB and LF columns) -Fix: better locale support -Fix: ON REMOTE HOST not functional -Added: Message and Trace services. -Added: support of FILEMAXSIZE, split output file in chunk of given size -Fix: LOB Compact not properly supported -Fix: problem with LF and LOB remote -Fix: STRIPED containers handling -Fix: discard View from table liste -Fix: some time/date/timestamps formats are incorrect -Added: new parameter in the config file to override factory defaults -Added: control over the TOPHPU variable -Added: consistency of PART() clause -Fix: support of Quiesce and Lock -Fix: problem with SKIP keyword To obtain a list of fixes that were included in previous FixPaks refer to APAR PQ66958. 3.0 PRODUCT RESTRICTIONS FOR THIS LEVEL OF CODE -Maximum performance will be achieved when unloading all rows from a table. DB2 EXPORT will be invoked automatically if on the SELECT statement, you specify a WHERE clause. This is a temporary restriction. -Unload from backup is supported provided no LOB or Long columns are being unloaded. This is a temporary restriction. -If specifying column names in the SELECT statement, just list the column names and do not enclose them in double quotes. It will be fixed in a future FixPak. -In some cases, HPU leaves the table space in a QUIESCE SHARE state. You need to issue a QUIESCE RESET if this happens. If using db2hpu in a script, just include this DB2 command at the end of the script. This will be fixed in a future FixPak. 4.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DB2 High Performance Unload for Windows uses a GUI installation tool. To install DB2 High Performance Unload (HPU) for Windows, complete the following tasks: 1. Log in to the Windows system where HPU is to be installed using the built-in administrator id. 2. Copy or move the HPU zip file (db2hpu_win.zip) into some directory which has at least 70 megabytes of freespace. 3. Unzip the file. It will create a directory structure under the current directory which starts with the subdirectory name 'default'. 4. Open a command window and change into the subdirectory containing the setup.exe file. cd default\disk1 5. Launch the HPU install by running the setup.exe program. 6. Follow the instructions in the panels. We recommend 'typical' install. If you wish to do a 'custom' install, choose one or more of the following options: DB2 HPU Base : Required. The base HPU functionality. DB2 Network Support : The HPU daemon, required for communication between partitions in a DB2 EEE environment, and with the DB2 Control Center plugin. DB2 Control Center plugin : Provides GUI support through the DB2 Control Center. If you choose this option, be sure to also choose the DB2 Network Support option. 5 .0 CORRECTIONS TO DOCUMENTATION To obtain the latest documentation updates refer to the Support Flashes category: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2imstools/support.html To obtain the latest refresh of DB2 High Performance Unload publications refer to: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2imstools/library.html 6.0 SERVICE For a complete and up-to-date source of DB2 High Performance Unload information, including information on issues discovered after this readme was published, go the to following websites: DB2 High Performance Unload Product: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2imstools/index.html DB2 High Performance Unload Publications: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2imstools/library.html DB2 High Performance Unload Online Support: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2imstools/support.html If you are not able to find your answer searching the listed URLs, call 1-800-237-5511 to speak to an IBM representative for assistance. 7.0 NOTICES This information was developed for products and services offered in the U.S.A.
