I have an old application handling data on a DB2 server (Linux version, 9.7 express-c) and I need to upgrade the server. I searched on the IBM site and I found that the last "free" version (11.5) is the only one available, but I cannot restore a backup taken from a 9.7 directly into the 11.5.
Is there any other way instead of using db2look and db2move?
Do anyone know if it's possible to find the 11.1 developer Linux version?
You can download the server-fixpack via https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6427871
( IBM registration is required ),
This is an indirect way to IBM passport advantage website. It's important to choose the "DB2 Server Fix Pack" as distinct from other images. It is wise to always download the most recent fixpack for the release when using the Server-Fixpack, these fixpacks are cumulative and do not require the base version to be preinstalled.
You can get a trial license with it and just do the intermediate restore (from the v9.7 backup-image into a disposable Db2 v11.1 instance, then backup that database offline and copy the image to a place accessible to your Db2 v11.5 new instance.
You can then drop the v11.1 db2instance, and uninstall the Db2 v11.1 product.
Finally restore that Db2 v11.1 backup image into your Db2 v11.5 instance. This will upgrade the database to the Db2 v11.5 release, consider running db2updv115 afterwards, and revalidating all objects with SYSPROC.ADMIN_REVALIDATE_DB_OBJECTS etc.
Whether the above indirect method is quicker (or easier) than using db2move to export and load, will depend on the complexity of your database. Worth checking...if your Db2 v9.7 instance is still running of course.
Other methods are possible, if you want to spend $$ on recovery tools that extract data from backup images.
We are currently using 10.5 version of DB2 and we are planning to upgrade to 11.1 version of DB2. I would like to know if the upgrade scenario does backup of the persisted data of 10.5 DB2 version to a specific location and after the upgrade the Db2 picks same data from the backup location?
If there is no provision in such a way of a backup location, would like to know the steps to backup the persisted data and other things I have to take into consideration while making the upgrade.
During a Db2 upgrade, it is your responsibility to take a backup copy of the database prior to the the upgrade.
There are instructions here within the overall Database Fundamentals - Upgrating section of the manuals

We are upgrading from 11g to 12c and I was curious if Business Objects XI R2 will be compatible and if anyone has had any experience/recommendations in doing so.
I don't know if BusinessObjects XI R2 is compatible with Oracle 12c.
Even though, I'd like to share a personal experience. Some days ago we upgraded our database from Oracle 11gR2 to Orale 12c and BusinessObjects works correctly.
Environment :
BusinessObjects 4.1 SP6
Windows 2008 R2
Here are the steps I followed :
Dump CMS schema in Oracle (in my case, the CMS schema was called "BOCMS")
expdp SYSTEM/<password>#<database> directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR parallel=8 dumpfile=BOCMS.dmp logfile=BOCMS.log SCHEMAS=BOCMS exclude=INDEX_STATISTICS exclude=TABLE_STATISTICS
Upgrade Oracle from 11gR2 to 12c
Create (or migrate) your database
Install 12c Oracle Clients (32b and 64b)
Test connection to your database (I used sqlplus command)
Import the dump created in step 1
impdp SYSTEM/<password>#<database> directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=BOCMS.dmp table_exists_action=replace logfile=BOCMS.log
Be sure your CMS schema has the same password you set on BusinessObjects when using it with Oracle 11gR2.
I hope this will be helpful.
I have one query. We are migrating from Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g. In java code we have used jdbc:oracle:oci8:#XYZ for oracle 10g.
But after 11g upgrade, we kept the above code as is. Now i am "NOT" facing any issue while connecting to DB during the QA testing. Its working perfectly fine. We are using JDK 1.5.
My query is do i need to change the string to jdbc:oracle:oci:#XYZ
for 11g ? or existing will work (backward compatibility). Will this cause any problem in future.
Also, what are other things that needs to be taken care from JAVA perspective while migrating to 11g from 10g.
Kindly Advice.
Thanking you.

The connect string does not need to change if the service has the same name.
I read from the enterprise db website that only the Postgres standard server and advanced server support Npgsql.
But am not sure if
1. Npgsql will not work with community version at all ?? or
2. It is just that it is not packaged along with community version,but I can use npgsql to connect and work with postgresql from .Net
Can someone help me understand?
I read from the enterprise db website that only the Postgres standard

EnterpriseDB is not the same as PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is PostgreSQL, it's not a "community version" from EnterpriseDB. EnterpriseDB Server is a fork of PostgreSQL, not the other way around.
And yes, Npgsql does work with PostgreSQL, it was created for PostgreSQL:
Npgsql is a .Net Data Provider for Postgresql. It allows any program
developed for .Net framework to access database server. It is
implemented in 100% C# code. Works with Postgresql 7.x and above.
