System Requirements
Client Requirements
Note: If a DB2 for LUW 7 client is installed on the machine where you are installing Toad, you must upgrade the DB2 client to version 8 before installing Toad for DB2 to avoid losing functionality in some DB2 native tools.

Existing DB2 Client Support
Toad installs a DB2 for LUW 9.7 client as part of the installation process. The DB2 9.7 client can co-exist with an existing DB2 8 client; however, it is incompatible with a DB2 7 client. If a DB2 7 client is already installed on the system, the Toad installation stops and cannot complete. To avoid losing functionality in some DB2 native tools, first upgrade to the DB2 8 client; then restart the Toad installation.
Requirements for Windows 7 32-Bit and 64-Bit Environments
Toad provides a 32-bit and a 64-bit Toad DB2 client installer. The 32-bit client installs in any Toad-supported Windows environment. The 64-bit client installs in a Windows 7 64-bit environment only. Additionally, a 32-bit and a 64-bit IBM DB2 client cannot exist on the same computer. Based on this restriction, install the appropriate 32-bit or 64-bit Toad DB2 client if another DB2 client already resides on your 64-bit computer.
Monitor Resolution
SVGA monitor with a minimum resolution of 800x600, 1024x768 is recommended. |
