Hi All,
Need your help...

I am trying to upgrade my instance from 32 bit to 64 bit..
In the process I am getting below errors:

I have no clue for the cause of the same.

Please help me in getting a way out of this.

how are you migrating - same machine ?
not all scenario's are supported
from which version to which version
there are some doc indicating what is supported
Support changes for 32-bit and 64-bit DB2 servers

Thanks for you prompt reply..

I am migrating to same machine..
I have tested it earlier also on same machine, version of my db2 is 8.2 fp 12

that you have tested does not mean it is supported
what is the target version of DB2
also check
Best practices for upgrading DB2 servers - IBM DB2 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
what is the operating system and which type of box p-x..

I am upgrading my version from 8.2 32 bit t o8.2 64 bit.
It is an AIX box of P series.

first of all : v8 is not supported anymore
scnd : have you looked in the doc ? there should be an indication about this or don't you have access to the internet doc of db2 as for the forum ?
all indication is in the chapter : Migrating to DB2 Version 8 64-bit (UNIX)

https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docv...id=swg1IC61970

I had a similar problem that was fixed when I set the following prior to the upgrade:

i) db2set DB2_DB_UPGRADE=XML_32_TO_64:1
ii) db2set -all
[i] DB2_DB_UPGRADE=XML_32_TO_64:1 ......make sure you see this


iii)db2stop

iv)db2start

db2iupdt did say "completed successfully" at the end:
DBI1070I Program db2iupdt completed successfully.


Check your db2level.
