DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

installDSDriver - Extract IBM Data Server Driver components command

Installs IBM® Data Server Driver (ds driver) components and creates db2profile and db2cshrc files.

On Linux and UNIX operating systems, the installDSDriver command installs and upgrades all the components of the IBM Data Server Driver in the specified directory and removes the .tar files that were extracted.

The installDSDriver command from the 32-bit IBM Data Server Driver Package software creates the db2profile file for the Bash or Korn shell and the db2cshrc file for the C shell. The db2profile and db2cshrc files are created under the root installation path (INSTALL_PATH) of the IBM Data Server Driver Package software.

The installDSDriver command from the 64-bit IBM Data Server Driver Package software creates following script files under the root installation path (INSTALL_PATH) of the IBM Data Server Driver Package software:

The db2profile file for the 64-bit Bash or Korn shell environment.
The db2profile32 file for the 32-bit Bash or Korn shell environment.
The db2cshrc file for the 64-bit C shell environment.
The db2cshrc32 file for the 32-bit C shell environment.

Command parameters

Displays usage information.

-upgrade <existing-dsdriver-path>

Upgrades existing IBM Data Server Driver Package software installation specified in the <existing-dsdriver-path> path. All user created files are preserved in the existing IBM Data Server Driver Package software installation path, that includes following files:

The db2cli.ini file.
The db2dsdriver.cfg file.
The DB2® connect license file.

If the -upgrade <existing-dsdriver-path> option is not specified, the installDSDriver script installs the IBM Data Server Driver as a new installation.

Usage notes

The installDSDriver script from the 64-bit IBM Data Server Driver Package software installs both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers and removes both 32-bit and 64-bit tar files.
For the 32-bit IBM Data Server Driver Package software installation, the db2profile file is for the Bash or Korn shell and the db2cshrc file is for the C shell.

If you want to run the db2profile or db2cshrc script from the installation path, you can issue the following commands:

Korn or Bash shell environment:
```
$ . ./db2profile
```
C shell environment:
```
source ./db2cshrc
```

If you want to configure the 32-bit drivers after installing the 64-bit IBM Data Server Driver Package software, run the db2profile32 or db2cshrc32 script from the installation path:

Korn or Bash shell environment:
```
$ . ./db2profile32
```
C shell environment:
```
source ./db2cshrc32
```
