Resolving The Problem
To verify the User Rights are configured correctly, we need to look at the local security policy on Windows:
Click control Panel - > Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
The Local Security Settings dialogue box should now be displayed.
From the Local Security Settings dialogue, select “Local Policies” from the right hand navigation, then double click “User Rights Assignment”
You should see in the list “Debug Programs”
If you don’t already see DB2ADMNS as having the right to Debug programs, this is likely the problem. To make the proper changes, double click “Debug programs” and add the DB2ADMNS group to the list by clicking the “Add User or Group” button.
After adding the group, it is important that you LOG OUT and log back in for the settings to take effect. In some cases, a reboot is necessary for the changes to take effect.
