db2icrt - Create Instance


Only one instance can be created under a user name
Location: DB2DIR/instance directory.
Syntax:

Example: db2icrt -u db2fenc1 db2inst1

db2idrop - Drop Instance


Removes a DB2 instance that was created by db2icrt.
You can only drop instances that are listed by db2ilist command
Syntax:

Example: db2idrop db2inst1

db2ilist - List Instances


Lists all the instances that are created using the db2icrt command
Syntax:
$ db2ilist -h
$ db2ilist
db2inst1
db2inst2

Gets data from /var/db2/global.reg


db2greg -dump

db2start - Start Instance


Login as the DB2 instance owner
. $DB2_HOME/db2profile
db2start

db2stop - Stop Instance


Login as the DB2 instance owner
Make sure you have all applications disconnected (db2 list applications)
$ db2stop
$ db2stop force (= db2 force application all + db2stop)
$ db2_kill

DBM CONFIGURATION
$ db2 get instance
$ db2 ? get dbm cfg
GET DATABASE MANAGER CONFIGURATION [SHOW DETAIL]
$ db2 get dbm cfg
$ db2 get dbm cfg | grep NUMDB
$ db2 update dbm cfg using NUMDB 10
$ db2 attach to db2inst1
$ db2 get dbm cfg show detail
$ db2 reset dbm cfg

DB2SET

IBM DB2 profile registry command


Allows for centralized control of environmental variables
4 Profile registries:
- Instance level profile registry [i] (~/sqllib/profile.env)
- Global level profile registry [g] (/var/db2/global.reg)
- Instance node level profile registry [n] (~/sqllib/nodes/node_number.env)
- Instance profile registry (/var/db2/global.reg)

Priority of DB2 Env/registry variables:


- OS environment set with set/export
- Node instance
- Instance
- Global
SYSIBMADM.REG_VARIABLES admin view:
select substr(REG_VAR_NAME,1,35) NAME, substr(REG_VAR_VALUE,1,35) VALUE,
LEVEL from SYSIBMADM.REG_VARIABLES
REG_LIST_VARIABLES Table function:
SELECT CHAR(REG_VAR_NAME,35) AS REGVAR, CHAR(REG_VAR_VALUE,35) AS
VALUE,LEVEL FROM TABLE(REG_LIST_VARIABLES()) AS REG ORDER BY 3,1
To read global profile: db2greg -dump
Detecting DB2 products installed: /usr/local/bin/db2ls

*This internally checks global.reg file

Customizing DB2 CLP prompt:


db2set DB2_CLPPROMPT="(Instance: %i, Database: %d):"
Setting history limit:
db2set DB2_CLP_HISTSIZE=500
