Appendix G. List Files, Bind Files, and Packages

This appendix lists the bind ®les contained in different .lst ®les shipped with the product. Although the contents of these lists are similar for each platform, the bind packages are generated speci®cally for each platform. Each package name can be mapped back to the client platform.

Note that the Bind function in the DB2 Client Con®guration Assistant and in the DB2 Data Sources Setup (included in DB2 Connect Personal Edition) choose the correct bind ®les for you automatically.

Note: In the following tables, under the Package Name columns, each DB2 bind package is represented as follows. For example, in the ®le name SQLabxYz:

vSQL identi®es the bind package as a DB2 utility,

vab identi®es the utility,

vx represents the last digit of the year the product became available,

vY represents the platform of the client,

vz represents the modi®cation level.

Users on OS/2, Windows 32-bit operating systems, and AIX systems can use the ddcspkgn command to determine the package name for for individual bind ®les or list (.lst) ®les. This command is found in the bin directory under the DB2 installation directory. For example, on an AIX system, enter the following command with the bind ®le in the local directory:

/sqllib/bin/ddcspkgn db2ajgrt.bnd

The following list maps Y values to platforms:

xAz Clients for AIX

xHz Clients for HP-UX

xLz Clients for Linux

xUz Clients for Solaris

xXz Clients for SINIX

xPz Clients for Power PC

xDz Clients for OS/2

xWz Clients for Windows

xNz Clients for Windows 32-bit operating systems
