DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC88599 Status: Closed

CLPPLUS.BAT UNABLE TO PARSE PARENTHESIS

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
CLPPlus shortcut will fail to startup on Windows systems if it 
was installed to a directory which contains a 
parenthesis/brackets.  For example when installing DB2 (32-bit) 
to on a Windows (64-bit) system the default directory will be 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\SQLLIB" instead of "C:\Program 
Files\IBM\SQLLIB\bin\clpplus.bat" 
 
 
 
Workaround: 
Create symbolic link from "C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB" to 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\SQLLIB" if DB2 was installed in the 
default directory.  Note this command is not available on older 
versions of Windows such as XP. 
 
C:\Program Files\IBM>mklink /D SQLLIB "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\ibm\SQLLIB" 
symbolic link created for SQLLIB <<===>> C:\Program Files 
(x86)\ibm\SQLLIB 
 
C:\Program Files\IBM>dir 
 Volume in drive C has no label.

Local Fix:
There are three possible workaround: 
(1) Install DB2 to a directory which does not contain brackets 
(2) Start CLPPlus from the command line by executing 
"clpplus.bat" 
(3) If DB2 was installed to "C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\SQLLIB" 
create a symbolic link from 
"C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB" to point to the real install 
directory 
 
C:\Program Files\IBM>mklink /D SQLLIB "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\ibm\SQLLIB" 
symbolic link created for SQLLIB <<===>> C:\Program Files 
(x86)\ibm\SQLLIB 
 
C:\Program Files\IBM>dir

03/02/2012  12:46 PM    <SYMLINKD>     SQLLIB [C:\Program Files 
(x86)\ibm\SQLLIB 
 
Then modify the CLPPLus shortcut to point to "C:\Program 
Files\IBM\SQLLIB\BIN\..."
