Welcome to IBM Database Server V4.0.1 for OS/2* FixPak WR08192 +-- Note: ----------------------------------------------------------------+ | | After installation is complete, you will need to re-bind the DB2 | utilities against all of your databases. Refer to section 2.2 for | details. | | If installing on OS/2 V2, there is a requirement for OS/2 FixPak 108 or | later, containing APAR PJ23417, to be installed. For OS/2 V3, FixPak 24 | or later, containing APAR PJ22651, is required. No FixPak is required | for OS/2 V4. | | For those customers using NetFinity software (check for NFDASD.FLT in | Config.SYS), NetFinity must be updated to include APAR IX61919. | | If you have received interim fixes from IBM support after 06/27/98, | then you should contact IBM support after the FixPak installation, to | request an updated version of the interim fixes. By doing this, you | are assured that your system is in a consistent state and no interim | fixes are lost. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ For installation instructions please see section 2.1 This README file contains information for the following products and components: OS/2-Specific ------------- IBM DB2 for OS/2 Server (DB2 for OS/2) IBM DB2 Software Developer's Kit for OS/2 IBM DB2 World Wide Web Connection IBM Distributed Database Connection Services Multi-User Gateway for OS/2 (DDCS Multi-User Gateway for OS/2) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

Installation Notes 2.1 Information for installing this FixPak 2.1.1 Pre-Requisites This FixPak requires one of the following IBM Database Server for OS/2 components to already be installed on the machine: IBM DB2 for OS/2 Server (DB2 for OS/2) v2.1.2 IBM DB2 Software Developer's Kit for OS/2 v2.1.2 IBM DB2 World Wide Web Connection v1.0 IBM Distributed Database Connection Services Multi-User Gateway for OS/2 (DDCS Multi-User Gateway for OS/2) v2.3.2 2.1.2 Installation Instructions Note: You must stop all database activity before applying this FixPak. To start the FixPak install, type INSTALL on a command line. You will be presented with a list of products currently installed. Select a product and then select UPDATE from the Action pull-down menu. You must install the FixPak for every product listed (it is not necessary to re-boot after each one even if the completion message says so, it is sufficient to re-boot after all products have been updated). If you use ODBC applications, re-run the ODBC Installer after re-booting, by double-clicking on the icon. IMPORTANT: Do not select the "Save a backup version?" checkbox. This will not properly backup the changes, and restoring from the backup may damage the installed DB2/DDCS product(s). This will be remedied in the future. 2.1.3 CID Install Instructions The FixPak install program (INSTALL.EXE) uses the same syntax and response file keywords as DB2 for OS/2, DDCS for OS/2, SDK for OS/2, and CAE for OS/2. Refer to the installation guide for a description of these keywords. o Each product must be updated separately. o Every product (DB2 for OS/2, DDCS for OS/2, SDK for OS/2, and CAE for OS/2) that is installed on the system must be updated with this FixPak at the same time. You cannot mix service levels between the products. o A /P:"product name" command line parameter is required. See the following sample command files on the first FixPak diskette for the exact product titles: DB2SVR.CMD IBM DB2 for OS/2 - Server DB2SU.CMD IBM DB2 for OS/2 - Single-User DB2SDK.CMD IBM DB2 Software Developer's Kit for OS/2 DB2CAE.CMD IBM DB2 Client Application Enabler for OS/2 DDCSMU.CMD IBM DDCS for OS/2 - Multi-User DDCSSU.CMD IBM DDCS for OS/2 - Single-User DB2ADMIN.CMD IBM DB2 Administrator's Toolkit for OS/2 o To aid in this, there is a tool called DB2RESP.EXE. This tool generates the response files to be used during CID installations. 2.1.4 Enabling and Disabling JDK 1.1 JDBC Support Both JDK 1.0 JDBC and JDK 1.1 JDBC drivers are supported, but only one can be active at a given time. By default, the JDK 1.0 JDBC driver is active. To enable support for the JDK 1.1 JDBC driver, do the following after this FixPak has been installed: 1. cd sqllib\jdk11 2. run db2jdk11 To switch back to the JDK 1.0 JDBC driver: 1. cd sqllib\jdk10 2. run db2jdk10 2.2 Rebinding bind files - IMPORTANT Due to the new bind (.BND) files that have been shipped with this FixPak, you will need to rebind your DB2 utilities against all your databases after the FixPak installation. This step is necessary for the fixes in this FixPak to become effective. The procedure of rebinding, outlined below, only needs to be performed once per database. 2.2.1 Rebinding to DB2 common server databases After applying fixes, you must do the following: - At a command prompt: db2 terminate db2 CONNECT TO db2 BIND \@db2ubind.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC db2 BIND \@db2cli.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC db2 terminate or, - At the DB2 command line: TERMINATE CONNECT TO BIND \@db2ubind.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC BIND \@db2cli.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC TERMINATE Where is the name of a database to which the utilities should be bound, and where is the full path name of the directory where the bind files are located, such as \sqllib\bnd. Examine the DB2PATH environment variable to determine the correct path. DB2UBIND.LST and DB2CLI.LST contain lists of commonly required bind files used for DB2. If is a DB2 v1.x database, do not bind db2cli.lst. Instead, use the db2cliv1.lst or specifically bind db2clics.bnd, db2cliur.bnd, db2clirr.bnd, and db2cliv1.bnd individually. 2.2.2 Rebinding to DRDA databases If you are using DDCS to connect to host databases, you will also need to bind the new bind files to the host. As above, use the DB2 Command Line Processor to connect to the host database, and then bind the utilities as follows: HOST COMMAND ======= =================================================== MVS BIND \@ddcsmvs.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE VM BIND \@ddcsvm.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE VSE BIND \@ddcsvse.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE OS400 BIND \@ddcs400.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE Please refer to Chapter 4 "Binding Applications and Utilities" of the DDCS User's Guide for a list of what bind files are used for your specific client operating system. If a bind file changes but your clients do not use that bind file, you do not need to re-bind it. 2.2.3 Rebinding Specific Packages If you wish to bind only the specific .bnd files to the database, issue the following command for each database (where is the name of the bind file, and is the name of your database). - At a command prompt: db2 terminate db2 CONNECT TO db2 BIND \ BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC db2 terminate or, - At the DB2 command line: TERMINATE CONNECT TO BIND \ BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC TERMINATE 3.
