After checking the fix pack prerequisites, download the
fix pack.
Procedure
To get a fix pack:
- Determine which fix pack you need.
In general,
choose the most recent fix pack to avoid encountering problems caused
by software defects that are already known and corrected.
- Locate the fix pack on the DB2® for Linux, UNIX, and Windows product
support website: www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=71&uid=swg27007053.
Ensure that you choose the appropriate
fix pack for your operating system. Choose
between DB2 database product-specific
fix packs and universal fix packs. For more
information, see the "Universal versus product-specific fix packs" topic
in the related links section.
- Download the fix pack.
In most cases, you
can choose to access the FTP folder directly or use a Java™ applet called Download Director to download
the files.
On Linux and UNIX operating
systems, there must not be any spaces in the directory path where
you plan to download and uncompress the fix pack. If there are spaces
in the directory path, the installation fails. For example, make sure
that your directory path resembles the following example: /home/DB2FixPack/FP1/.
It must not resemble the following: /home/DB2 FixPack/FP1/.
What to do next
After you successfully download the fix pack, perform the remaining preparatory steps before
installing a fix pack. See Preparing to install a fix pack.
