Just to set the record straight.
I've done the db2updv8, I've binded all my utilities, client, schema etc.
The db2routext was definitely updated since the timestamp on the file was that of the upgrade date.
The server has been rebooted.
I rebinded all pakages again just incase.
I have one more question though, the tools tables that was created on the old version would that apply to the new version or are there additional tools tables that need to be created.
Thanks for response thus far, appreciate it.
