Problem IC76386 | Status: Closed |
BIND FILES UNDER SQLLIB/BND DIRECTORY MAY NOT GET UPGRADED BY FIXPACK INSTALL ON WINDOWS IF MODIFIED BY A SPECIAL BUILD | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 910 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
If a special build was applied to the system and the special build contains special versions of .bnd or .lst files under under the SQLLIB/BND folder, they may not get upgraded by the Fixpack install. This happens because the files under SQLLIB/BND are not versioned. The Windows Installer architecture will only replace unversioned files if they have not been modified since the last install. Since a special build may contain fixes in files under SQLLIB/BND, Windows Installer will not upgrade them. To avoid this issue, this APAR will introduce file versioning to the files under the SQLLIB/BND directory. This way it will enforce Windows Installer to upgrade the files regardless if they were modified or not. | |
