creation of 32 bit instance on 64 bit System DB2udb v9.5

[eswerreddy]

Hi All

How to create 32 bit instance on 64 bit System ?

I am using DB2UDB v9.5 fp 2 . Actually my application team requested me to create a 32 bit instance to configure their Application . But there is no option in db2icrt command to mention the bit width in 9.5 .

db2icrt command will automatically create the instance based on the sys configuration, if sys is 64 bit , it will create the 64 bit instance . same for 32 bit also ....


Some where i saw , When we changed some code in the db2profile file , the 64 bit instance will work as 32 bit instance .... could u please give me the details of the process ..

Please suggest me the resolution in this issue...

and ANY Alternative ways ....?

Thanks in Advance ...
Srinivas.

I'm not sure for DB2 v.9.5, can you use -w 32 option?
In addition, -w option is not supported on Windows.

To get a 32bit instance on 64bit hardware requires installing DB2 as 32-bit only.

There is no longer a -w switch for db2icrt and no way to have instances of each on one server.
