DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC93982 Status: Closed

WITHOUT UPGRADE_PRIOR_VERSIONS=TRUE, THE UPGRADE IS TREATED AS A NEW
INSTALLATION

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
If you want  to do a silent upgrade and you forget to set 
UPGRADE_PRIOR_VERSIONS to true in your response file, the 
upgrade will be treated as a new installation and will continue 
without error.  As a consequence, in the Add/Remove program, 
there will be two entries for the DB2 product with the same 
DB2COPY name : one for the old version and one for the new 
version. 
 
To avoid this issue, please use the recommended method for 
upgrade : use UPGRADE_PRIOR_VERSIONS=YES in the response file.
