FP5: IBM DB2 Geodetic Data Management Feature software has been deprecated

Starting with Version 9.7 Fix Pack 5, DB2® Geodetic Data Management Feature has been deprecated. Version 9.7 Fix Pack 6 o later fix packs in Fix Central for DB2 Spatial Extender do not contain the software for the DB2 Geodetic Data Management Feature.

Details

For new installations of this functionality or to apply the Version 9.7 Fix Pack 6 or later fix packs to existing installations, contact IBM® support for details on how to obtain the software for this functionality.

In Version 9.7 Fix Pack 5 or earlier releases, the DB2 Geodetic Data Management Feature was a complement to DB2 Spatial Extender. The DB2 Geodetic Data Management Feature handled objects defined on the surface of the Earth in a continuous spherical fashion rather than a planar, x- and y-coordinate system.
