DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC69775 Status: Closed

DB2VAL.EXE ALWAYS REPORTS ERROR WHEN IT IS USED TO VALIDATE A V97 FIXPAK
UPGRADE INSTALL ON WINDOWS

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
When the db2val.exe tool is used to validate the install after a 
v97 fixpak upgrade, it always report error in the files 
installed, even the db2 product was upgraded to the higher 
fixpak level successfully, and the db2 works correctly. 
 
By the way, the same problem does not happen when this tool is 
used to validate a new install using the same fixpak image.
Problem Summary:
**************************************************************** 
* USERS AFFECTED:                                              * 
* DB2 V97 FP1/FP2 on Windows platforms                         *

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         * 
* When the db2val.exe tool is used to validate the install     * 
* after a v97 fixpak upgrade, it always report error in the    * 
* files installed, even the db2 product was upgraded to the    *

**************************************************************** 
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              * 
* The db2val.exe tool only works correctly on a new db2        * 
* install, untill the problem is fixed in v97fp3.              * 
* Thus, if the V97 DB2 fixpak upgrade install is completed     * 
* successfully and the db2 works correctly, the user need not  * 
* use the db2val.exe tool to validate the fixpak upgrade       * 
* install, which will return a false result.                   * 
****************************************************************
Local Fix:
Since the db2val.exe tool reports a false result when it is used 
to validate the DB2 product after a fixpak upgrade, you can 
ignore the error it returns. 
 
Until this problem is fixed in V97FP1, the db2val.exe tool only 
works for new installations on the windows platforms.
