Hi, Can anybody help me on this...

We have PLI programs running with DB2 6.1. And now we are migrating to DB2 7.1 version. Due to this change do we need to rebind (recomplie the PLI pgms) or will it still work fine.

Thanks in advance.

Jobin.

Hi Kolusu,

Thanks for your immediate reply.

I went through the info in the link provided by you and could find "Special considerations for PLI", but did not have an answer to my query whether "PLI PGMS HAVE TO BE RECOMPLIED IN THE NEW DB2 7.1 VERSION".

I would be very thankful if you could give me a reply on this.

Thanks,
Jobin.

Hello Jobin,

no, you don't have to recompile your programs to use this new DB2 release.

There are considerations about downward compatibility, though. A module precompiled with DB2 V7 cannot be bound anymore within a DB2 subsystem still on V6. Therefore we used the V6 precompiler for a while under V7 (which worked with no problem), until all our DB2 subsystems in various locations had been upgraded.

regards
Christian

Thanks! Christian and Kolusu... It worked without any recompliation.

Jobin.
