DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

installDSDriver - Extract IBM Data Server Driver components command

Installs IBM® Data Server Driver (ds driver) components and creates db2profile and db2cshrc files.

On Linux and UNIX operating systems, the installDSDriver command installs all the components of the IBM Data Server Driver (ds driver) in the current directory and removes the .tar files that were extracted. In DB2® V9.7 Fix Pack 6 and later, issuing the installDSDriver command creates the db2profile file (for the Bash or Korn shell) and the db2cshrc file (for the C shell). The db2profile and db2cshrc files are created under the root installation path (INSTALL_PATH) of the IBM Data Server Driver Package.

Authorization

Prerequisite

The unzip utility must be installed on the operating system before running the command.

Usage notes

For the 64-bit ds driver, the script installs 64-bit drivers and removes 64-bit tar files, but 32-bit tar files and directories in the package are left alone.
For the 32-bit ds driver, if you need 32-bit drivers, you must manually extract the 32-bit files.

If you want to use the db2profile or db2cshrc script from the installation path, you can issue the following commands:

Korn or Bash shell environment:
```
$ . ./db2profile
```
C shell environment:
```
source ./db2cshrc
```
