db2admin - DB2 administration server command

This utility is used to manage the DB2® Administration Server (DAS). If no parameters are specified, and the DAS exists, this command returns the name of the DAS.

Command parameters

START: Start the DAS.
STOP /FORCE: Stop the DAS. The force option is used to force the DAS to stop, regardless of whether or not it is in the process of servicing any requests.
CREATE /USER: user-account /PASSWORD: user-password: Create the DAS. If a user name and password are specified, the DAS will be associated with this user account. If the specified values are not valid, the utility returns an authentication error. The specified user account must be a valid SQL identifier, and must exist in the security database. It is recommended that a user account be specified to ensure that all DAS functions can be accessed. To create a DAS on UNIX operating systems, use the dascrt command.
DROP: Deletes the DAS. To drop a DAS on UNIX operating systems you must use the dasdrop command.
SETID user-account/user-password: Establishes or modifies the user account associated with the DAS.
SETSCHEDID sched-user/sched-password: Establishes the logon account used by the scheduler to connect to the tools catalog database. Only required if the scheduler is enabled and the tools catalog database is remote to the DAS. For more information about the scheduler, see the Administration Guide.
-?: Display help information. When this option is specified, all other options are ignored, and only the help information is displayed.
-q: Run the db2admin command in quiet mode. No messages will be displayed when the command is run. This option can be combined with any of the other command options.
