TKU July 2008
The effectiveness of the active versioning method in the DB2 pattern was increased by adding an additional approach to obtaining the path to the home directory of the user that owns a DB2 instance.
The active versioning method relies on setting up of the correct shell environment prior to the execution of the 'db2level' command which provides the version information. Prior to TKU July 2008 execution of the script that sets up the environment relied on directly accessing the script using shell tilde ('~') expansion. Since shell tilde expansion does not work across all shells (Bourne shell in particular), an additional approach has now been added which takes precedence over the use of shell tilde expansion. The pattern now attempts to parse '/etc/passwd' file for the user's home directory as described on the pattern description page.
