Closed as documentation error.
Error description
Due to the way we build IIB we can only supply one db2swit file per release. This file will only be compatible with one version of Db2 for the entire product lifecycle. The customer will need to build their own version of the db2swit file for Db2 v11 as described on the IBM MQ Knowledge Center article 'Creating switch load files' https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFKSJ_9.1.0/com. ibm.mq.sce.doc/q023390_.htm The customer should only need to build this file once per platform and use it as a drop in replacement for the one that ships with IIB.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM Integration Bus V10 and IBM App Connect Enterprise V11 using DB2 for globally coordinated transactions. Platforms affected: AIX, HP-UX Itanium platform, Linux on Power platform, Linux on x86-64 platform, Linux on zSeries platform, Solaris x86-64 platform, Solaris SPARC platform, Windows on x86-64 platform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The product supplies a pre-built switch load file to allow globally coordinated database transactions with DB2 using IBM MQ as the transaction coordinator. If this switch load file is not compatible with the version of DB2 being used by the customer then they will need to build their own version of the file. The documentation for IBM Integration Bus and IBM App Connect Enterprise is missing the instructions for building this library file.
Problem conclusion
The documentation for IBM Integration Bus and IBM App Connect Enterprise has been enhanced to include troubleshooting advice and instructions on building a switch load file for DB2. The readme.db2 file that is shipped as part of IBM Integration Bus and IBM App Connect Enterprise has also been enhanced with instructions on how to build a switch load file for DB2 and where to find further information.
