Hi, All

What is the difference between general IBM DB2 Fixpack's and special fixpack's for SAP , e.g. DB2 9 FP2 and DB2 9 FP2SAP ?

And why SAP is strongly recommend to use special FPxSAP instead of general IBM DB2 fixes ?

With best regards, Dmitry

Hi,

the SAP fixpacks often include last minute fixes that are relevant for the SAP products and have been found during validation in the IBM/SAP integration center in Toronto or at SAP in Walldorf.

If SAP decides to ship a special fixpak it typically differs from the IBM fixpaks only by a small number of APARs. Not for all IBM fixpaks there is a SAP special fixpak (see not 101809 ).
