Abstract

DB2® Content Manager V8.3 Fix Pack 5 adds support for use of Microsoft® Visual C++ 2005 (Visual Studio 2005).

Content

Fix Pack 5 of DB2 Content Manager Enterprise Edition V8.3 and DB2 Content Manager for z/OS® V8.3 adds support for the use of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (Visual Studio 2005) with the C++ OOAPI on Windows®. (The API is part of DB2 Information Integrator for Content V8.3.)

Also, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 compiler can be used to compile library server user exits for DB2 Content Manager Enterprise Edition V8.3 Fix Pack 5 installed on Windows.

Below is an example of how to compile and link with Visual C++ 2005 for an user exit.

cl /I%DB2TEMPDIR%\include -Zi -Od -c -W2 -DWIN32 -MD %uxname%.c
link -out:%uxname%.dll -dll %uxname%.obj -def:%uxname%.def
mt -manifest %uxname%.dll.manifest -outputresource:%uxname%.dll;2

Restriction:
Neither Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2002 nor Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 can be used for compiling IBM DB2 Content Manager Client for Windows custom user exits.

For earlier levels of DB2 Content Manager software, the use of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is not supported.

See the "Prerequisites" section of the current fix pack documentation for more information about supported software.
