If you have just finished installing IBM DB2/2, IBM DB2/2 Service Pak WR07015 (syslevel WR07015), IBM refresh code level v1.0.1, IBM Lan Server/Requester, or IBM CM/2, please shutdown and reboot your system before installing the DOS/ Windows Client Select Pak. This means that you will have to reboot twice, once after the installation of these products to process any locked files, and a second time before using the Select Pak to process some remaining locked files. PC DOS\WINDOWS INSTALLATION --------------------------- To install the Select Pak on a DOS\Windows machine, use the following command: svpinst3 / [y] Where x is the drive on which the DOS\Windows requester is installed. /d specifies installation of the DOS fixes /w specifies installation of the Windows fixes /dw specifies installation of both DOS and Window fixes y is the drive you are installing from (default is the current drive) CID INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------------- For DB2/2 CID Select Pak install, please use the sample response file DB2FIX.RSP provided on diskette 1. This file can be modified to fit your installation needs. NOTE: The keywords found in DB2FIX.RSP are the ONLY supported CID keywords in this version of the CID install program. The Select Pak CID install program (DBFIXCID.EXE) uses the same syntax as the DB2/2 CID install program. Refer to the DB2/2 Installation Guide for a description. For a description of the CID install key words, refer to Appendix B of the DB2/2 Installation Guide. One keyword has been added to support the Select Pak install: > DBReplace - replaces files on the target system if they have a later date/time stamp than the ones shipped with the Select Pak (1=YES 0=NO). NOTE: The CID keyword DBUpdateType can only be equal to 1, which specifies to install the Select Pak. No other values are supported. NOTE: If a certain component, say, Query Manager is not installed on a given system, specifying CID keyword DBInstallQueryManager=Y would have no effect. It would just be ignored for that particular system and no Query Manager fixes would be installed.

Switzer Fax: (416) 448-4414 WHAT'S CHANGED - APAR DESCRIPTIONS ---------------------------------- The following changes have been made as a direct result of customer feedback. The fixes contained in this Select Pak are fixes that have gone into the product since Service Pak WR07015 was shipped. APAR JR07462 - Display thread on DB2/MVS The DOS requester was not sending the correct thread ID and server name to DB2/MVS when connecting through DDCS. With this fix, the DOS requester will always send out a thread ID of 0 and the correct server name. APAR JR07728 - Application Abends Previously, when running an SQL application using host variables on a machine with less than 265K available DOS memory, the application could abend with an SQLCODE of 4911N. This problem will no longer occur.
