DB2 FAILS TO SHOW TSA UPGRADE ERROR WHEN THE LOCALE IS ZH_TW | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
When using the locale ZH_TW, the TSA may fail to upgrade without showing an error message in the log file. This may be the case when the TSA license installed on the system is permanent while the license available on the image is a try & buy license. After applying the fix, you will see the message in the log file, translated to the current locale: "The DB2 installer could not update the IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms Base Component (SA MP Base Component) from the currently installed version 2.2.0.7 to the version 3.1.0.6 on the DB2 install media. Upgrading from this particular older version to this particular newer version is not supported. For information about manually upgrading the SA MP Base Component, see the SA MP Base Component Installation and Configuration Guide at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21433814" | |

Comment | |
This fix is needed to detect the license type in samlicm under the ZH_TW locale. The output cannot be parsed when the locale is ZH_TW. Since samlicm is a tsa command that is already installed on the system, our code needs to work around this issue to change the locale temporarily to EN_US prior to executing samlicm. | |
