DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Merge modules for ODBC, CLI, and .NET have been combined (Windows)

IBM® Data Server Driver for ODBC, CLI, and .NET has been renamed to IBM Data Server Driver Package, which continues to provide an MSI-based Windows installation that uses merge modules. However, the packaging strategy has been simplified in Version 9.7 to provide a single merge module for ODBC, CLI, and .NET rather than multiple merge modules.

Details

The contents of the old IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI Merge Module.msm and IBM Data Server Provider for .NET Merge Module.msm merge modules are now available in a single merge module, named the IBM Data Server Driver Package.msm merge module. The old merge modules for ODBC, CLI, and .NET are no longer available.

This change does not affect the language-specific merge modules, which continue to be available separately.

User response

Update references to the ODBC and CLI merge module and references to the .NET merge module to use the new merge module name.
