Do I have to re-install? 1

[Truusvlugindewind]

Old Situation: DB2 V8.1 installed under XP on a laptop. Running fine (together with WAS) until a hardware failure. They placed my hard-disk in a new laptop (same specs) and re-registered the new machine on the windows-network at my company.

Result: another hostname

New situation: Everything works fine EXEPT... the installed IBM software. DB2 generated errors at windows-boot and won't function any more.

Has anyone ever have the same situation and solved it wihtout re-installing?

Hi,

is it the same problem as this, or maybe you need to do this. If so, no you don't have to reinstall.

Thanks Greg. That did the job! A purple start is the least I can do.

For the record: I had to edit my "db2nodes.cfg" first.

1 little problem persists:

The db2jds keeps generating errors. In the db2diag.log shows this:

2006-04-15-18.04.45.592000   Instance:DB2   Node:000
PID:420(javaw.exe)   TID:2304   Appid:none
base sys utilities  sqledosd_dx_internal Probe:10

SQL3269N  DB2 was not able to access information in the LDAP directory
because the LDAP server was not available.

Anyone? I do not recall doing anything with a LDAP server during installation.

Had to do with LDAP. Dont know much about LDAP... According to IBM documentation DB2 uses the MS version as a default. Changed it to IBM, just trying. Error seems to be gone now.

I had a similar problem recently only on AIX. The codebase on AIX doesn't yet support LDAP, so we had to back out the LDAP implementation.
