Starting with DB2 Version 9.7 Fix Pack 3 , HP-UX 32-bit
client support has been deprecated and might be discontinued in a
future release.
Details
When support for HP Itanium-based servers
was introduced in DB2® Version
8, 32-bit DB2 client
libraries on HP-UX were provided to support customers and partners
who could not immediately enable their 32-bit HP-UX PA RISC applications
on native 64-bit Itanium environments.
Support for DB2 server
instances on HP-UX PA RISC was removed in DB2 Version 9.5.
As HP Itanium-based servers are now common, 32-bit DB2 on
HP-UX client support is deprecated and might be removed in future
releases. This change does not affect other platforms, where 32-bit DB2 client
support continues to be enhanced and supported.
Resolution
32-bit applications on HP-UX support
has been deprecated starting with Version 9.7 Fix Pack 3. Such support
might be discontinued in future releases of DB2 and DB2 Connect™ releases.
To prepare for the change, it is recommended to migrate 32-bit HP-UX
application to 64-bit so that applications can run on native 64-bit
HP-UX Itanium-based environments.
