Post-processing requirements

The DB2 CD supplied with Multiple Device Manager installs DB2 V8.1 with the DB2 V8.1.2 update (FixPak 2) already integrated in the code. If you have installed DB2 V8.1 from another source, you may need to install the DB2 V8.1.2 update (FixPak 2). You can ensure that you have installed the correct level of the DB2 code by using the following steps:

  1. Open the DB2 command line tool by clicking Start->Programs->IBM DB2->Administrative Tools->Command Line Tools->Command Line Processor->Command Window, and type the following command:
    db2 level
    The following is an example of the output of the db2level command:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\BIN>db2level DB21085I
    Instance "DB2" uses "32" bits and DB2 code release
    "SQL08012" with level identifier "02030106". 
    Informational tokens are "DB2 v8.1.2.169", "s030508",
    "WR21318", and FixPak "2". Product is installed at 
    "C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\SQLLIB".
    Find the FixPak level in the output from the db2level command. In this example output, the FixPak level is 2.

    If the FixPak level is 2 when you run the db2level command, your installation of DB2 is complete.

  2. If the FixPak level is less than 2, you need to download DB2 V8.1.2 update (FixPak 2) from the IBM DB2 UDB and DB2 Connect(TM) Online Support Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/winos2unix/support

    Each update contains a set of release notes and a README file. The README file provides instructions for installing the update. Perform the instructions in the README file to install the update.
