Problem IC82922
|
Status: Closed |
LOCATION OF DB2CLI.INI AND DB2DSDRIVER.CFG FILES ARE NOT AS SPECIFIED FOR DS DRIVER AND 32-BIT APPLICATIONS |
| product: |
DB2 CONNECT / DB2CONNCT / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
When installing the 64-bit version of the IBM Data Server Driver
Package on a Windows machine, the location specified for the
'DB2 Common Application Data Top Path' may not be used for
32-bit applications.
The DB2 Common Application Data Top Path is used to store files
such as the db2cli.ini and db2dsdriver.cfg. For 32-bit
applications the path that was set during installation will not
be used if the path specified is different from the default
path.
The default path is different depending on the version of
Windows that is being used.
On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\DB2\driver_copy_name\cfg
On Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008:
C:\ProgramData\IBM\DB2\driver_copy_name\cfg
64-bit applications however will continue to use the proper path
that was specified during the installation. |
