Installation of the required fix packs

Some versions of DB2 require a fix pack. We can check whether one is required and obtain it from the DB2 support website.

The command for installing a fix pack for DB2 depends on your operating system and whether we created an instance during installation.

Did we create a DB2 instance during installation	Windows operating system	UNIX and Linux operating systems
Yes	Enter the db2level command from the DB2 command window: db2level	Log on with the DB2 instance user ID and enter the db2level command: su - DB2_instance_ID db2level
No	Run the regedit command and look for the information in the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\DB2\InstalledCopies\db2_name\CurrentVersion	Enter the db2ls command: DB_HOME/install/db2ls or /usr/local/bin/db2ls

See the documentation that the DB2 fix pack provides.

Verify the DB2 installation.
