Configuring Access to Aggregate Storage Option Cubes (DB2 OLAP 8.2)
To ensure that you have the run-time library required to access the Aggregate Storage Option (ASO) feature, perform the following additional steps when installing your DB2 OLAP 8.2 client software:
- In the DB2 OLAP 8.2 client installation wizard, select the Custom installation type, and then click Next.
- Select the Essbase API for Windows 32 option if it has not already been selected, and then proceed through the remaining pages of the installation wizard.
- When the installation is finished, locate libdb42.dll in the folder db2olap_installation_location\api\redist, and copy this file to the client installation folder db2olap_installation_location\bin.
- Restart your system.
Note: If you apply a Fix Pak to your DB2 OLAP 8.2 client, remember to also recopy libdb42.dll (as explained above), to ensure that your \bin folder always contains the most up-to-date version of this required file.
