Don't.. there is a chance you would look back at this thread in the
future and regret...
This has absolutely nothing to do with self managing databases.
May I remind you that PATH is not a DB2 special. It's in PostgreSQL, SQL
Server, oh.. and Unix, Windows, Linux, ....
All complaining will not help. You'll have to deal with it.

Cheers

Have no fear, the line before and the line after my "SS" were meant to
be mild humo(u)r. I'm not good at emoticons!

Sure, but the last time either of us had to deal, hands on, with PATH
was in OS/2 (RIP). For example, Windows has tens of thousands of
references to little pieces of programs in storage. But the paths are
all in the registry, and the user never gets his/her hands dirty
unless, rarely, when working with what's left of DOS.

Anyway, the matter at hand . . . After changing things in the
db2cli.ini file, I now have the stored procs back, but the UDFs can't
be found. And just before writing this, I got my first ever (I've
been using db2 since version 2) SQLSTATE 56098 on an SP that has been
in use without a glitch for at least a year. I'm the owner and am
signed on as such.

In order to keep business going, I'm going to reinstall Version 8.x
and wait this out. (I did check the memory and HDD of my machines,
and no errors are found after full-day runs.)

SQLSTATE 56098: An error occurred during implicit rebind or prepare.

There are multiple SQLCODEs that can get you there.
What was the complete message? (May be echo-ed in the db2diag.log).

I doubt this is install related, and it sure isn't HDD related.

PS: I do not consider the windows registry a marvel of innovation.

Yes Cheers . . . Best wishes for the holiday season.

I know that you are snowed in; I don't know if you got clobbered as
they did in Montréal. I have friends in Montréal who can't move. I
am in South Florida and used to live (for 35 years) in Canada. Cheers
and sympathy!

Hard to go on after that. But . . .

I am in a position on my test setup, where I can uninstall everything
and start from scratch. Redo the database setup, tablespaces,
buffers, tables, stored procedures, triggers, UDFs, etc

Do you think that I should do that for V9.5, without the changes in
PATH which I have never needed before, and without which everyone else
seems to do fine? It would take about 5 hours. This would tell me if
something stupid went wrong in the previous installation (either of
the database), but not of the OS.

Otherwise, I will just reinstall V8.x. I know that it works fine, but
it doesn't lead me to the advantages that I want in XML.

I have to do something. Right now I am mired and cannot develop this
application further.

Even More Cheers . . . Remi Martin Grand Fin Champagne Napoleon! If
you visit South Florida, I promise you a taste. If I have to come to
TO (as I do from time-to-time), well, no one has that anyway . . .

I didn't mention in the last message that I could redo everything in
V8.x and, if it all worked, upgrade (via usual path) to V9.5
