Implementing Siebel eBusiness Applications on DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 > Preparing for Implementation on the DB2 Host >

Installing Required IBM Fix Packs

After you have installed DB2 Connect, you must install any required IBM Fix Packs. Not all Fix Packs are certified to run with Siebel applications. To find out which Fix Packs are certified, see the System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb or the vendor documentation on the IBM Web site. For more information, refer to IBM documentation for installing the Fix Packs for your environment.

NOTE:  When using the UNIX operating system, if a Fix Pack is installed after the creation of the DB2 database instance, this instance must be updated using the db2iupdt command.

You can verify the currently installed version and Fix Pack by running the command db2level from a DB2 Command Window. In a UNIX environment, this command is run from a UNIX shell after sourcing the appropriate db2profile. Make note of the information and compare the Informational tokens from the output against the 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.
