Upgrading DB2 servers with specific characteristics

There are many factors that can impact the overall upgrade process, and the complexity of your environment is one of these factors.

If you installed multiple DB2® product components, if you are upgrading from a 32-bit Windows operating system to a 64-bit Windows operating system, or if you are upgrading from a partitioned database environment, you must perform upgrade tasks that include steps specific to that environment instead of the basic DB2 server upgrade task.
