Multiple DB2 Client Versions

Michel Esber

Hello,

I have an environment that contains V8 (FP 11) and V7 (FP13) Linux
servers.

One of our applications reads data from V8 servers and writes
summarized data into V7 servers that can´t be easily migrated for
several reasons.

Because I have to connect to both V8 and V7, the runtime client
installed on the application server is V7. V8 runtime connecting to a
V7 server has some know limitations.

Question is: Can I install both runtime clients on a single box?
Perhaps create an instance for each client and configure the
application to use this or that version ?

Thanks in advance,

Yes. DB2 for Unix and Linux supports multiple versions coexisting. As you
surmised, each must have its own instance. As far as I'm aware, you can
only use one instance environment at a time for a given process.

"Version" means the first number: v7 and v8 coexist. Two different copies
of v8, being the same version, do not coexist (unless you have the
alternate fixpak - that's not available on all platforms, and only for
ESE).

Viper allows multiple copies of DB2 to coexist on the same box. Each one
still needs its own instance(s) to do anything useful, though.

Multiple database services and multiple versions on Red Hat Linuxsystems

by: Fernando Nasser | last post by:

Multiple database services and multiple versions on Red Hat Linux systems The way it works is that we require a specific service script for each database service (that is listening on each port). Each of these services has a init script in /etc/init.d and a corresponding configuration file in /etc/sysconfig. We use the 'chkconfig' utility to decide if each of those services will be activated on boot or not (it manipulates links under...

Single client - multiple servers

by: Ken Allen | last post by:

Most of .Net seems to be focused on the concept of multiple clients and a single server that provides the control. All of the examples that I have seen presume that the client code knows the computer system on which the server component resides. 1. If the client does not know the name of the computer system, how can it locate that system? 2. If there are two or more computer systems all making the same server component available (even...

Server sending events to multiple clients

Hello. In the early stages of developing a server application that will be required to send events to multiple client applications that will be running on different PC's. I'm wondering what the best technology for doing this is. At the moment, I'm looking at MSMQ. The server PC and client PC's will be running Windows 2000 (most likely in a Workgroup configuration). No, I can't upgrade the PC's to WinXP. I was thinking of writing the...

Multiple MySQL installs - 2 applications [help modify my.cnf/my.ini]

by: kription | last post by:

Here's my installation issue: I have two versions of an application (I'll refer to it as "ABC"). One version of the tool requires MySQL 4.1.x and the other requires MySQL 5.0.x, which is not an issue as I can install each of these on their own port; 3346 and 3356 respectively. The complex part of this problem is that ABC's executable is ABC in both versions of the tool. In the past I could easily define ABC in the my.ini/my.cnf by...

WARNING: Do not use Vista for multiple versions of Access!

by: Allen Browne | last post by:

If you develop for others, you probably have multiple versions of Access installed so you can edit and create MDEs for clients in different versions. This works fine under Windows XP, even with Access 2007 installed. It does *not* work under Windows Vista Ultimate. After running Access 2007, when you open an earlier version of Access, no code works, because the references are fouled up. And Access 97 does not work at all. Access should...

Save Multiple versions of a page on the client side

by: Joseph I. Ceasar | last post by:

In an earlier post, someone asked about how to save a page on the client programmatically. I also had to solve this problem and did use Steven's approach. It worked great! Now here is an interesting twist. The page that gets saved to the client contains a several DataGrids components. The data displayed in the grids is filtered by the contents of a separate drop down list box. This allows the client to "download" one page a time.
