Problem IC80849
|
Status: Closed |
DB2CHGPATH MAY NOT UPDATE THE LIBRARY PATH ON SOLARIS |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
On Solaris, db2chgpath may not function properly if the original
directory does not exist.
e.g. After renaming the install path from V9.7 to V9.7new
# db2chgpath
# echo $?
1
The above command fails because we try to change into the
original directory(/opt/IBM/db2/V9.7), which no longer exists
and the script terminates.
After applying the fix, db2chgpath will not terminate when the
original directory no longer exists. |
| Problem Summary: |

* USERS AFFECTED: *
* All users running DB2 v9.7 FP5 or earlier. *

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: *

| Local Fix: |
There are two workarounds for this problem:
1) Ensure the original directory exists; or
2) Update the configuration file with the new install path: <old
db2 install path>/cfg/installcopy.cfg
Re-run db2chgpath.
db2chgpath once again |
