Error description
This APAR addresses the update of the Microsoft Visual Studio .Net C++ runtime libraries distributed with DB2 to implement the DST changes affecting the use of the TZ environment variable in Windows. At the end of February and beginning of March 2007, Microsoft announced a series of hotfixes available in response to an issue on the Windows operating system in which incorrect dates can be received by windows applications that make use of the TZ environment variable. While these hotfixes may be applied manually on affected workstations, the base copies of these specific libraries which are bundled with DB2 will be udated in a future FixPak release. NOTE: If your Windows workstation does not use the TZ environment variable, these hotfixes are not required. Note also that DB2 does not ship its own copy of the Microsoft C-Runtime library, MSVCRT.DLL. Instead, portions of DB2 use the MSVCRT.DLL from the default location of C:\Windows\System32. As such, if your Windows workstation does use the TZ environment variable, one will need to manually install the hotfix for the Microsoft C-Runtime library KB932590, even if the fix for this APAR has been applied.
Local fix
To update Windows' msvcrt.dll you would need to download and apply KB932590 separately. This APAR will update the Microsoft Visual Studio C-Runtime libraries (MSVCR70.DLL, MSVCR71.DLL) that reside under SQLLIB\BIN up to the versions found in these DST hotfixes: VC 7.0 - KB932305 VC 7.1 - KB932299
