Node	The name in the database manager configuration file at the client node.

Product	The DB2 name and version number.
Release	The product code and version number for the DB2 client system on which the application is running.
Server Level	The IBM build and PTF (Program Temporary Fix) levels of the current DB2 server and client. These numbers can be used to determine your fixpak level. Build level—The alphanumeric number not in parentheses is the build level of the DB2 code you are currently using. PTF level—The alphanumeric number in parentheses is the PTF level of the code. Determining IBM fixpak levels To check if your system is at the latest fixpak , run the db2level command on both the client and the server where the database resides. Note: You can execute this command from a DB2 command window. (On Unix or Linux platforms, you would run the command from the login prompt of your instance user ID.) This command will not run in the Command Line Processor ( CLP ). Once you have determined the fixpak level of your system, go to the following web page to ensure that this is the latest fixpak of DB2. If it is not, you should upgrade. http:// www.ibm.com /support
Server PTF	The IBM PTF (Program Temporary Fix) level of the current DB2 server and client.
Server Fixpack	The IBM level of the current DB2 server fix pack. If a fix pack is not installed, 0 (zero) is shown.
Server Bit Architecture	The size of the bit strings supported by the server processor. For example, 32 is shown for 32-bit processors; 64 is shown for 64-bit processors.
Partitions	The total number of partitions used by all the databases within the current instance.
