What is the IBM policy on alternate fixpacks ?

Hi,

From version 8.1.2 one can install alternate fixpacks on Unix/Linux. What is
the IBM policy on alternate fixpack; is it for temporary testing or can it
be permanent in Production ?

If I open a PMR about an alternate fixpack problem, do I have the same
service than on the GA+Fixpack code ? Can I get a special build, in case ...
?

What would be the reasons not to go to the alternate fixpack strategy ?

Thanks for your help,

JM

I'm realizing I didn't frame my question well. What's ***TOTALLY COMPELLING*** about Ruby over Python? What makes you jump up in your chair and scream "Wow! Ruby has *that*?

Variations on style are of no interest to me. I'm coming at this from a...

I was reading the FixPackReadme.txt 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? -- Carl Draus

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"

Can Alternate Fixpaks be used with DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition on AIX? The same regular fixpack can be used on both UDB and Connect. The website isn't quite clear. Norm

Hello, all. I noted that when I install these fixpacks on a clean machine, there are no any java graphical tools like db2cc, db2ce on this machine after installation. I have tried to install all types of installation: ese, client, rtcl. Is it a feature or I have missed something? Sincerely, Mark Barinstein.

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,...
