When you launch "db2_install" without any parameters, it starts in interactive mode and you will see the following message: ====================================================== Specify one of the following keywords to install DB2 products. ESE CONSV WSE CLIENT RTCL ====================================================== The displayed message clearly states that you must select only one product. However, if you enter more than one product, for example "ESE RTCL" or "CLIENT ESE", no error is returned and the installation will finish successfully. The result of selecting "multiple products" is unpredictable and you might find some files missing from the installation path. For example selecting "ESE RTCL" might result in the installation of "RTCL" only. After applying the fix provided by this APAR you will receive an error if you select "multiple products".
