file .../db2.o not found

The db2.o file is not always immediately available on AIX installations, which can cause OpenLink's drivers for DB2 to fail.

If this file is not found at $DB2DIR/lib/db2.o, take the following steps --

• Log in as the root user

• Execute the command

find / -name libdb2.a -print | xargs ls -l

• You should see that one of the results of Step #2 is a file, located in $DB2DIR/lib/, while any others should be symlinks to this same file. Move to $DB2DIR/lib/. For example,

    
cd /usr/lpp/db2_07_01/lib/
            

• Ensure there is no existing shr.o, which may interfere with the current extraction attempt. If there is, execute the command

    
mv shr.o shr.o.bak
            

• Execute the command

    
ar x libdb2.a
            

• When you get a new file-listing, you should find the new fileshr.o

    
ls -l
            

• Execute the commands

    
mv shr.o db2.o
chmod 755 db2.o
            

• If you moved an existing shr.o to shr.o.bak, restore it with the command -

    
mv shr.o.bak shr.o
            

All binaries which depend on this dynamically loadable library should now work properly. Retest your OpenLink components.
