v8.1 Alternate FP7 installation quesiton

I was reading the FixPackReadme.t xt file in preparation for installing v8.1
Alternate FP7. The prerequisites section says that all DB2 processes must be
stopped and doesn't differentiate between regular an alternate fixpacks. I
was hoping the alternate fixpack would help to avoid downtime. Do you really
need to stop all DB2 process for alternate fixpack installations?

In my experience, in applying the alternate FP's there is no need to stop
all the db2 processes. I have some 10 different instances running on my
server and have not had a problem to date.

Trying to upgrade alternate FP9 to alternate FP9a on Red Hat Linux. After running the following command: ../installAltFixPak -y it says it was successful, but no new directory is created in /opt/IBM/db2 Assuming that maybe fixpack 9a updates the existing /opt/IBM/db2/V8.FP9 directory, I ran db2iupdt on the instance (using root), but db2level still shows the signature for fixpack 9 (not 9a). "DB2 v8.1.0.88", "s050422"

I am distributing a program and have several Rich Text files linked to the default installation path on the target computer. i.e., In my code, the path to the text files to be displayed in the Rich Text Boxes uses the default path listed in the installation.

I am trying to understand the differences between and uses of persistent, default and alternate styles. I have read http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/present/styles.html section 14.3.2 on specifying external style sheets in link using combinations of rel and using or not using the title attribute. I think I sort of understand rel="alternate stylesheet". It seems to be able to act something like the media="print" or media="handheld" or...

Is it possible to select an alternate master dictionary when using the pspell interface? There is a way to select a personal dictionary (pspell_config_personal()), but that is used IN ADDITION to the default master dictionary, which is not what I want. I have a different English dictionary I wish to use, and I do not want to use the default dictionary at all. However, I do not wish to mess with the existing installation of aspell on the...

I need some browser implementation clarification. In the below example, the alternate stylesheet could be invoked by user agents that support alternate stylesheets or by script. Are there any browsers that don't recognize "alternate stylesheet" as a value of the rel attribute and just implement it automatically thus overriding sheet2.css? Just need to know what I need to worry about. <link href="sheet1.css" rel="stylesheet"...

In version 8.2 ESE we used alternate fixpacks to allow multiple fixpack levels for different instances, and to allow an instance to be deprecated back to the previous fixpack (with certain limitations). In looking at V9.5 install procedures there are no alternate fixpacks. There is only a db2_install and a installFixPack script (not counting the db2setup GUI program). It looks to me like the installFixPack script is used to update...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
