I don't see any FixPacks listed for DB2 v11.5. We are considering its installation, but normally wait for a baseline correction before implementation.

Does anyone know if there is a FixPack in the works for DB2 v11.5 - and if so, when it will be released?

Db2 11.5 ModPack 1, ModPack 2 and ModPack 3 (i.e. Db2 11.5.1.0, Db2 11.5.2.0 and Db2 11.5.3.0 respectively ) are available as a container only release

For example from

This mod pack release is currently available in the following Db2 products:

  • The single container deployments of Db2 Warehouse and IBM Integrated Analytics System (IIAS)
  • The container micro-service deployment of Db2 on Red Hat OpenShift
  • The Db2 cartridge used by IBM Cloud Pak for Data

Similar statements are on the what's new pages for 11.5.2 and 11.5.3

See the main What's new page for information on container-only Db2 Mod Pack releases

IBM® offers a number of Db2-based solutions for small to enterprise size container environments [e.g., Db2 Community Edition, Db2 Warehouse, the IBM Integrated Analytics System (IIAS)].

These container-deployed products, and the Db2 engine that powers them, are released at regular intervals between traditional Db2 on-prem releases. The Db2 engine for these products is identified using the Mod Pack numbering scheme currently used in the Db2 product signature.

New features that are available in these container-deployed Mod Pack releases are rolled into a subsequent Db2 on-prem release. The on-prem release also contains any new features that are available in the container-deployed release that aligns with its release date. So, each on-prem release of Db2 aligns with a similarly numbered container-ready release.

Container releases are available from the IBM Cloud Container Registry. E.g. for Db2 Warehouse, see the instructions here
