Updating an instance to a higher level within a release using the db2iupdt command
The db2iupdt command can be used to update an instance to a higher level within a release.
Before you begin
Before running the db2iupdt command, you must first stop the instance and all processes that are running for the instance. When using this command, ensure you have reviewed the prerequisites and the pre-installation checklist so that your instance and hosts are compliant.
About this task
The db2iupdt command can be issued against instances of the same version that
are associated with the same or a different Db2® copy. In all cases,
it will update the instance so that it runs against the code located in the same Db2 copy as where you
issued the db2iupdt command. Use this command to:
- Install a new Db2 database product or feature to the Db2 copy associated to the Db2 instance.
- Update a Db2 instance from one Db2 copy to another Db2 copy of the same version of Db2 database product.
