This upgrade is considered Phase I of the upgrade to DB2 V9. Phase II to complete the upgrade to DB2 V9 will be to take the DB2 subsystems from V9 Conversion Mode to V9 New Function Mode.

The first of the Phase II upgrades is scheduled for DSN1(D11G & D12G) on 8/20/2011 beginning at 07:00 CT with RFC 100-03-821244. Phase II of the V9 upgrades will bring the DB2 subsystems to the full function capability of V9. It will also keep the DB2 subsystems at a supportable and current level.

The dates for the Phase II upgrades of the balance of the DB2 subsystems will be announced once they are negotiated and set.
