DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

FP2: DB2 Advanced Copy Services (ACS) is not automatically included in a compact installation

In Version 9.7 Fix Pack 2 and later fix packs, DB2® ACS is no longer installed automatically during DB2 installations of type compact.

Details

Before Version 9.7 Fix Pack 2, DB2 ACS was always installed during all DB2 product installations. Starting in Version 9.7 Fix Pack 2, DB2 ACS is an optional component during some types of DB2 product installations, including unattended installations. DB2 ACS is installed by default during DB2 installations of type custom and typical, and when you use the db2_install command.

During unattended installations, you can use the ACS response file keyword to install or uninstall DB2 ACS.

User response

If you have already completed a compact installation and must now install DB2 ACS, use a custom response file installation, or click Work with Existing from the DB2 Setup wizard to install only DB2 ACS into the DB2 copy that you already installed.
