APAR status

  • Closed as documentation error.

Error description

  • The Network Manager installer installs a DB2 client by default
    (called db2inst9). This might cause problems if you are using an
    existing DB2 database.
    

Local fix

  • Network Manager installs a DB2 client called db2inst9 in
    NCHOME/platform/linux2x86/db2client.
    If you have an existing DB2 client on your machine, you need to
    either remove it, or you can use your existing DB2 client, but
    to do that, you have to ensure that you point it to your client
    using the correct name and path.
