gunzip <IFix-package-name>.tar.gz
tar -xvf <IFix-package-name>.tar
db2 force applications all
db2stop force
db2start
db2 connect to <database_name> user <instance_owner> using <instance_owner_pwd>
db2 "select procname, implementation from syscat.procedures where procname = 'SP_GET_VERSION'"
The following table shows a sample result of a query, where the returned library file is 'myrpm'.
| PROCNAME | IMPLEMENTATION |
|---|---|
| SP_GET_VERSION | /home/db2inst1/sqllib/function/myrpm!SP_GET_VERSION |
If the above query returns a library file name other than ibmrpm.so, rename the ibmrpm.so file found in the directory path in Step 2 to the name returned in the query. For example as per the above sample query, the returned library name is 'myrpm' and you need to rename ibmrpm.so to myrpm.so.
To rename ibmrpm.so to myrpm.so, use the command mv ibmrpm.so myrpm.so.
