Hi Mehul,

As there is only a fix pack difference, I do not see any major hiccups in restoring 9.7.3 to 9.7.7 database using offline backup.

Hi,

reverting a fixpack may cause problems since new fixpacks may update table functions in the system catalog ( db2updv97 ).

After restoring a V9.7 FP3 Backup with V9.7 FP7 software you should run db6_update_db for the same reason. db6_update_db wil call db2updv97 and this may update table functions in the system catalog.

select * from sysibm.sysversions

to get a history of DB2 sofware versions used with your database.

Regards
