ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Installation Prerequisites
1. If you have DDCS/2 2.0 installed on your machine and you intend to install
either the DB2/2 or DDCS/2 2.0 Select Pak then you must install both of
these. The DDCS/2 2.0 Select Pak has dependencies on the DB2/2 Select Pak
and DDCS/2 2.0 will not operate correctly unless both Select Paks are
installed.
2. If you have just finished installing IBM DB2/2, IBM Lan Server/Requester or
IBM CM/2, please shutdown and reboot your system before installing the
DB2/2 Select Paks. This means that you will have to reboot twice, once
after the installation of these products to process any locked files, and a
second time before using the Select Pak(s) to process some remaining locked
files.
3. If you are planning to install IBM LAN Netview/2 or IBM CM/2 with DB2/2 on
the same machine, you MUST install DB2/2 and the Select Paks before the
other products. Otherwise, DB2/2 may replace some common files that are
shared among these products with an earlier version of the same files.
This cause undesirable results in the other products.
To install the Select Pak:
o Unzip the file WR07011.ZIP (use PKUNZIP)
o Before starting the install you will need to know the drive that OS/2 is
installed on and the drive where DDCS/2 2.0 is currently installed
o Run WR07011.CMD in the directory where it was unzipped.
Note: If you ran the install command file an OS/2 full screen, you will be
returned to the desktop upon exitting. Be sure to return to the correct
session to proceed with the installation.
Installation Errors
If the Select Pak installation aborts with an error, then your DB2/2 system may
be left in an inconsistent state. Possible causes for this are:
1. Your OS/2 swapper file has become too big and there is no room for the
temporary files that the install program needs to install.
2. The file 'LSI.MSG' under x:\OS2\install (x is your boot up drive) is locked
and cannot be overwritten . You need to reboot to unlock this file.
After you correct the cause of the problem, you must restart the Select Pak
installation and let it complete successfully in order to bring your DB2/2
system to a consistent state.
Re-installing DDCS/2 2.0 Gold
If you ever re-install DDCS/2 2.0 from the original installation disks, you
should first copy the following files from WR07011.PKZ to the DDCS/2 2.0
installation diskette 1:
o LSI.MSG
o IBMLANLK.SYS
o IBMLANLK.EXE
These changed files correct a problem in the original installation program
which causes the current date to be given to the files being installed instead
of leaving the date untouched. This fix is required since the Select Pak
install program checks the existing file date before installing the Select Pak
files. If the date of the file already installed is later than the Select Pak
file date, then the install program will ask you whether this file should be
replaced or not. If you re-install from your original DDCS/2 2.0 diskettes
after the date the Select Pak was finalized then you would be asked whether you
want to overwrite ALL of the Select Pak files (one at a time). Changing the
above three files on your original DDCS/2 2.0 diskettes will stop this from
happening.
