On the Windows operating systems, there are two
ways to upgrade your DB2® 32-bit
server to a DB2 Version 10.5 64-bit server. One way is to upgrade your existing DB2 32-bit server to DB2 Version 10.5 32-bit server, and then upgrade to DB2 Version 10.5 64-bit server.
The other way is to upgrade to a new computer where DB2 Version 10.5 64-bit database product is installed.

Procedure
To upgrade a pre-DB2 Version 10.5 32-bit server to a DB2 Version 10.5 64-bit server:
- Log on to the DB2 server
as a user with Local Administrator authority.
- If you have multiples copies of DB2 Version 10.1, or DB2 Version 9.7 or 32-bit server, perform the
following actions to have all instances running under one DB2 copy:
- Update all your instances to run under one DB2 Version 10.1 or DB2 Version 9.7 32-bit server copy. You can only
update instances of the same version.
- If you have instances running on multiple pre-DB2 Version 10.5 copies of different version, upgrade all instances
to the highest release of pre-DB2 Version 10.5 copies. For example, if you have a Version 10.1 and
a Version 9.7 instance, upgrade your Version 9.7 instance to the DB2 Version 10.1 32-bit server copy.
- Uninstall all the remaining DB2 server
copies except the DB2 server
copy where all instances are running. You should have only one DB2 Version 10.1 32-bit server copy,
or DB2 Version 9.7 32-bit server
copy
- Install DB2 Version 10.5 64-bit database product and select the Work
with Existing option on the Install a Product panel. Then
in the Work with an existing window, choose
the DB2 copy name with the upgrade action.
- If you want your applications to access DB2 Version 10.5 copy through the default interface, set the DB2 Version 10.5 copy as the DB2 default
copy .
- Upgrade your databases.
- If you want to have your instances running on multiples
copies of DB2 Version 10.5, install additional DB2 Version 10.5 copies and issue the db2iupdt command
to run an instance under a different DB2 Version 10.5 copy.
What to do next
After upgrading the DB2 server, perform the recommended post-upgrade tasks such as resetting the
diagnostic error level, adjusting log space size, and rebinding packages.
In addition, verify that the upgrade of
your DB2 server was successful.
