Error description
Customers choosing to install TPC using the Typical mode will not be able to change the default location of where TPCDB is created. If customer configures DB2 to place it's database in a different location than the default, ie /home/db2inst1 on AIX or Linux, the Typical installer will not create the TPCDB in the expected location. TPC Typical install uses the DB2 users home directory by default when creating the TPCDB. Changing the DFTDBPATH variable in DB2 has no effect on Typical install forcing a customer to use Custom. This is normal behavior, however it is not always desireable option for a customer who wants to take all defaults with exception of DB location. TPC Development has decided it is acceptable option to allow the Database repository location to be changed using the DFTDBPATH and will change the installer to use the DB2 Variable to propogate the db2path parameter used by TPC. This change will apply to Windows, AIX and Linux TPC Server versions.
Local fix
Use Custom install to specify a different Database location during installation.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: TPC 4.2.x and earlier users who want to * * create TPCDB in the location specified by * * DFTDBPATH while using the typical * * installation option. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: TPC installer does not consider the * * value of DB2 configuration parameter, * * DFTDBPATH, when creating its database * * TPCDB. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** -
Problem conclusion
TPC installer will take the value from DFTDBPATH and use it as default install location for TPCDB during typical install. The fix for this APAR is targeted for the following maintenance packages: | fix pack | 4.2.1-TIV-TPC-FP0002 - target February 2011 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg21320822 The target dates for future fix packs do not represent a formal commitment by IBM.
