DB2 - Problem description
Problem IC78175 | Status: Closed |
DB2 INSTALL AND DB2SWTCH OVERRIDE CSDK INFORMIX .NET PROVIDER IN THE GAC | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
The installation of a default DB2 copy and/or the switching of a default DB2 copy with the db2swtch.exe tool deploy the Informix .Net Provider (IBM.Data.Informix.dll) packaged in the DB2 product into GAC, even the IBM.Data.Informix.dll .NET provider installed with CSDK was already in the GAC. Although the Informix .Net providers from DB2 and CSDK can co-exist in the GAC, since the file version of the IBM.Data.Informix.dll packaged in DB2 is higher (which uses the DB2's version level), it breaks the installed IDS CSDK product. Thus, this is not the desired behavior. | |
