DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

You might encounter situations where the IBM Data Server Driver 
for ODBC and CLI is using extended security feature although it 
should not. This might result in unpredictable application 
behaviour. 
 
This issue happens if the following conditions are meet: 
- the IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI package is being 
  used 
- there is no other DB2 product installed or no installed DB2 
  product is using the extended security feature. (no DB2USERS 
  and DB2ADMNS Windows user groups have been created on the 
  system) 
- DB2 Connect Server license files are used to enable direct 
  host connectivity for the IBM Data Server Driver 
 
This APAR enhances the code to distinguish between the client, 
that is coming with a full installation, and the client 
that was just unzipped and run.

There a three possible workarounds: 
- use DB2 Connect Personal Edition License file instead of 
  DB2 Conect Server License files 
- set DB2_EXTSECURITY=NO in Windows environment 
- create the Windows User groups 'DB2USERS' and 'DB2ADMNS'
