fp10

[2803stan]

Have downloaded and applied FP10 to V8.1 Win32 Workgroup Sever Edition
and administration client.

Now nothing works.

As far as I can tell from the docs, I have to bind or re-bind something
to something.

This is not fair! When I download an update it should provide its own
utilities and do this stuff for me so I don't have to make mistakes!

So, at the moment I have an inoperable (aka "dead") system.

Has anyone any suggestions?

Did you bothered to read the Readme file whci accompanied the fixpack?
If you did follow the instructions - the binding process is specifically
described in this part of Readme:

"...
1.4.3.1 Binding to DB2 UDB databases

After applying fixes, you must issue one of the following command
sequences:

db2 terminate
db2 CONNECT TO <dbname>
db2 BIND $DB2DIR\BND\@db2ubind.lst GRANT PUBLIC ACTION ADD
db2 terminate
...."

I did indeed TRY to "bother" to read the docs. But there is so much in
each text file that it's impossible to read all unless I want to quit
my day job.

May I suggest to anyone at IBM who's reading this, that the text
accompaniying a release be separated into several files, like
"WHAT_THIS_CHANGES.TXT," "AIX.TXT," "SOLARIS.TXT," "LINUX.TXT,
WINDOWS32.TXT," "WINDOWS32.TXT," etc, etc. At the moment everything
is in one file and not useful to ordinary humans.

So, I did indeed do the bind thing which you and the included file
suggested.

Made no difference, every bind line returned an error stating that the
object was already bound.

Still I cannot use the database that I could use before I installed
fixpak10.

There are things that are specific to platforms, and other things are not
specific. So you would essentially end up creating a whole bunch of such
files, and the administrator has to figure out which ones he needs to read.
In my personal view, that's a mess. Reading just a single README file,
going through the table of contents there and just reading all sections
that might apply to me (i.e. excluding the sections for other platforms)
seems to be the safest way.

It would be great if you could post exactly which steps you took (starting
at the FP install) and what the exact error message is that you get when
you try to do whatever it is you try to do. At the moment, we are just at
the point "something doesn't work"...
