Upgrading Db2 (Windows)
You must upgrade to a supported version of IBM® Db2® before you migrate or upgrade to IBM OpenPages® with Watson™ 8.2.
This task provides the basic steps for upgrading IBM Db2. For more information about this process, see the IBM Db2 documentation.
About this task
Important: Fix pack 8.2.0.1 supports Db2 11.5.4. If you are migrating or upgrading to 8.2,
complete the migration or upgrade before you apply the Db2 11.5.4 fix pack. Otherwise, you will see errors during the OpenPages database upgrade.
This task uses the following conventions:
db2admin
: The OpenPages database instance owneropenpage
: The OpenPages database useropx
: The name of the OpenPages databasedb2inst2
: The Cognos® database instance ownercognosdb
: The name of the Cognos content store<db_server>
: The hostname of the Db2 database server
The steps that you need to do depend on whether you are using your existing database server for OpenPages or using a new database server. If you are using a new database server, you skip the steps about upgrading the database instances and upgrading the databases. Later in the OpenPages migration process, you restore the databases and then upgrade them to the new Db2 version.
Note: When you run Db2 utilities, such as
db2
connect
or db2rbind
, do not use quotation marks around passwords.
