Hi there,

anyone knows how "fast" security updates are made to DB2 Developer Community Edition?

Besides the "standard" product download - is there any place where I can actually download patches to DB2 Community Edition?

(I assume that I CAN NOT download/install general DB2 patches on Community Edition installation, right?)

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards, Igor

The same fixpack that works for other editions work for Community edition. Just apply it.

Igor,

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot apply fixpacks (security fixes
and interim fixes) to DB2 community edition.  As Philip stated, you just
download the latest fixpack edition from here:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/318421

install it and without installing a license you will be running the
community edition by default.


DB2 can also be downloaded from IBM Fix Central

https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/

If you download from Fix Central, select the "DB2 Server Fix Pack"
and not the "DB2 Universal Fix Pack".  The Server Fix Pack should be
identical to the version found on the "Download Db2 Fix Packs by version"
page (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/318421).  The Universal
Fix Packs only apply to licensed products.

Thank you very much, Philip, Youssef and Scot,

for taking the time to answer and for you valuable input.

Cheers, Igor
