Exist any restrictions when I would like to make connection from DB2 client version 8.1 to DB2 server version 7.2 ?
Thanks for answer.

The client/server layer has been rewritten in v8.
should check

There are many restrictions with this client/server connectivity. For a complete list of the restrictions, please refer to the What's New in V8 manual, Chapter 1 Introduction to DB2 Universal Database Version 8.

R U you try to access V7 DB server from V8 client??

you can access , but restrictions sql1326 .


also you need to bind nessary PKGs

can be done in 2 ways


1. from DB2CA ( configuration assistant)
type from dos prompt db2ca, that will take you there, highlight the instance , right click on it, select bind option , enter instance owner userid & passwd , click on bind, that will bind all needed PKGs.


2 run this scripts
from ...\sqllib\bin directory

put in scripts in file like dbpkgbnd.sql

bind db2ajgrt.bnd blocking all grant public ;
bind db2arxcs.bnd blocking all grant public ;
bind db2arxrr.bnd blocking all grant public ;
bind db2arxur.bnd blocking all grant public ;
