I have an old DB2 V7 Instance with 6 Databases that we are upgrading to V8 and then to V9.
I installed (on a new server) workgroup server edition V8 buildlevel:
Product identifier SQL08010
Level identifier 01010106
Level DB2 v8.1.0.36
Build level s021023
Now I am trying to bring this instance up to FIXPACK 3 for V8 . I downloaded Fixpack 3 (FP3_WR21324_WSE.exe) and it did say to stop all Db2 Services - which I did. it looked like I met all other criteria so I launched FP3_WR21324_WSE.exe (Fixpack3 for version 8)
it displays 'extracting files for Fixpack install' and then begins extracting file.
it then displays a WELCOME screen for IBM DB2 UDB 8.1 Server workgroup install. When I click install a Product. my only option is DB2 Workgroup Server edition. when I click next.. I get this error:
a DB2 Product at Version 8, Release 1, Modification 0 and service Level 0 is already installed on this machine. The installation you are attempting to perform is for DB2 at Version 8, Release 1, Modifcation 3 and service level WR21324, so will not be permitted.
It's like it is trying to install DB2 Server all over again instead of just the service pack.
Can someone help me out here. I am just trying to get my Server patched up to a proper level so that I can migrate my Version 7 databases to it.
AM I going about this all wrong?? what is the proper sequence of events to migrate databases from V7 to V8???
