Installing Required IBM Fix Packs

After you have installed DB2 Connect, install any relevant, certified IBM Fix Pack. Not all Fix Packs are certified to run with Siebel applications. To find out which Fix Packs are certified, refer to System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb, the vendor documentation, or the following IBM URL:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/db2/fixes/english-us/siebel/siebel7/Siebel7CertifiedFixpaks.txt.

Refer to IBM documentation for installing the Fix Pack for your environment.

NOTE:  When using the UNIX operating system, if you install a Fix Pack after you create the DB2 database instance, you must update the instance using the db2iupdt command.

You can verify the currently installed version of DB2 Connect and the Fix Pack by running the command db2level from the DB2 Command Window. In a UNIX environment, this command is run from a UNIX shell after sourcing the appropriate db2profile. Make a note of the information and compare the Informational tokens from the output against System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb or the IBM URL:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/db2/fixes/english-us/siebel/siebel7/Siebel7CertifiedFixpaks.txt.

In addition to Fix Pack information, the System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb contains any other installation prerequisites.
