After installing a fixpack I always run db2updv<7/8>. Just to be
sure. It isn't mentioned in every readme file but it's just one of
those things. I also always rebind db2ubind.lst and db2cli.lst.
With FP9a it should have been in the readme because new functions are
available only after running db2updv8.
Rebind db2ubind.lst and db2cli.lst are mentioned in the readme file for FP9a
(and every readme file I recall seeing).
What do mean "it's just one of those things"? Don't people read RTFM
anymore?. There is no mention of db2updv8 in the FP9a readme file. Since
when are people expected to correctly install fixpacks if the instructions
are bad?
So what am I supposed to do now? Tell my customer that I need to schedule
another outage because IBM fixpack install instructions were incorrect? I
doubt that my customers would even believe me and instead blame me for the
mistake.
Someone in IBM management needs to roll some heads. The installation
instructions have always been hard to read and poorly organized, but this is
gross negligence.
