Hi..

Currently we working on Enterprise PL1 Migration and using DB version 8.
Now my shop planning to move to DB2 Version 9.x.

Could you please let me know, Is it we have to complete our EPLI migration before moving from DB2 Version 8 to 9.x.

Is there any this kind of restriction is there ?
If you help me with any document reference, It will be very much help full for me..

Please help.

( I have searched IBM site, But could not find anything fruitful)

anbesivam,

Are you talking about DB2 v9 for linux and windows? IBM haven't yet released DB2 V9 for Z/os. The latest version of DB2 on mainframes is V8.

Thanks for your response.

I have read following named document which is published by IBM on May 2, 2006.

In this document they are mentioned like:

Software requirements: This section lists licensed
programs or specific elements and features of licensed
programs that are required in the DB2 V9 environment.
You can use subsequent versions or releases of the
programs, unless stated otherwise.

Programming languages: The following application
development programming languages can be used to
build applications for DB2 V9:

Hi Kolusu,

I agree with you and no need to bother about this now.

But we are in the middle of the Enterprise PLI migration and it will take another 1 year to complete.

If IBM may plan to release db2 9 version in another 6 months time and if this version is not supporting PL1 older versions, we need to speed up our migration process. That's why I have asked this.

This will help us our planning.
