Need to rebind??

[Bob Long]

We are currently on (Solaris) UDB V7 EE with fp7 and want to get to fp
12 or 13.

We also have Federated connections to multiple mainframes and data bases
at DB2 7.1.

Our question, upon installing the fp on our machine will a rebind with
the mainframe be required as this is somewhat of a red tape filled task?

Thanks..

If IBM has changed any of the interface or utility code that you will be
using (that necessitated that IBM create new package versions), then the
answer is yes, a rebind will be necessary. Obviously, between fixpak 7 and
13, there is a high probability of a change.

If you have a problem, you will get a "package not found" error message,
which indicates a version/timestamp problem with the package.
