Release Notes

22.3 Java 1.2 Support for the Control Center

The Control Center supports bi-directional languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew, using bi-di support in Java 1.2. This support is provided for the Windows NT platform only.

Java 1.2 must be installed for the Control Center to recognize and use it:

1. JDK 1.2.2 is available on the DB2 UDB CD under the DB2\bidi\NT directory. ibm-inst-n122p-win32-x86.exe is the installer program, and ibm-jdk-n122p-win32-x86.exe is the JDK distribution. Copy both files to a temporary directory on your hard drive, then run the installer program from there.
2. Install it under <DB2PATH>\java\Java12, where <DB2PATH> is the installation path of DB2.
3. Do not select JDK/JRE as the System VM when prompted by the JDK/JRE installation.

After Java 1.2 is installed successfully, starting the Control Center in the normal manner will use Java 1.2.

To stop the use of Java 1.2, you may either uninstall JDK/JRE from <DB2PATH>\java\Java12, or simply rename the <DB2PATH>\java\Java12 sub-directory to something else.

Note:

Do not confuse <DB2PATH>\java\Java12 with <DB2PATH>\Java12. <DB2PATH>\Java12 is part of the DB2 installation, and includes JDBC support for Java 1.2.
