Hi everyone,
According to the fixpak Readme, you can uninstall a Fixpak on UNIX (AIX
to be precise), by doing a rollback...and all the other things described
in the readme.
My question is, do I have to restore a backup of the DB from the old
fixpak level, or is the DB not affected and all I simply have to do is
rebind the original Fixpak level's packages?
Thank you,
Christos Kalantzis

Hi Christos,
It depends. If you picked up any new function provided by a fixpack then
you would need to either restore from a backup or drop the relevant objects.
An example would have been customers who altered IDENTITY columns in
V7.2 could not go back to V7.1.2 unless they dropped the respective
tables since DB2 could not digest the catalog changes.
If all you did was install a fixpack without exploiting any new DDL
features you can go back.
Cheers
Serge

I believe you'll have to apply the image you had taken prior to the
application of the fixoack.
The other issue you may encounter is that changes may have been made to
catalog tables when you applied the fixpack and they could be
incompatible with your original fixpack code if you don't restore your
image.
I'd restore if I were you unless you are looking at several hours of
work abnd even then...

Hi,
I wish to install fixpak 11 on 8.1, On the machine we have 3
instances, but I only want to upgrade to fixpak 11 on one instance for
the time being. Can this be done? Or will installing the filesets
effect all instances even if I do not do a db2iupdate on all of them.
aix 5.2
db2 8.1 fixpak 4
thanks

I have HP-UX ia64 and db2 version 8.1 fp 6, i want to upgrade to 8.1
fixpak 11, but when i tried to install it, i received the message that
my db2 version should be at least 8.2 . I think that i need to apply
tha fixpak 7 before the fp 11, but the fixpak 7 isnt available on the
IBM page.
Somebody knows how can i get the last release?

Hello,
does anyone know why on the IBM download section of the UDB Support page
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/support/
FP 13, 11 and 10 are listed prominently, but not FP12.
We tried fixpak 11, found you couldn't uninstall it with Windows installer(that
was great), this was fixed in 12.
We are now in the final stages in the process of deploying FP12 for DB2 Connect

I'm currently on DB2 LUW v8.1 fixpack 5
DB21085I Instance "xxxx" uses "32" bits and DB2 code
release "SQL08015" with level identifier "02060106".
Informational tokens are "DB2 v8.1.0.48", "s040212", "MI00069",
and FixPak "5". Product is installed at "/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1".
I wish to upgrade to v8.1 fixpak 14 (aka v8.2 fixpak 7), the
Linux 2.4 kernel version.
Can I do this directly? Or do I have to goto v8.1 fixpak 7

I am using a response file w/ db2setup to install DB2.
I then want to install the latest fixpak in the same
automated way.
Is there any way to use a response file w/ fixpak
installation? Or can I otherwise do an automated
(non-interactive) fixpak install?

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