DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

dasupdt - Update DAS command

On Linux and UNIX operating systems, updates the DB2® Administration Server (DAS) if the related DB2 database system installation is updated. On Linux, UNIX, and Windows operating systems, you can also use this utility to move the DAS from one installation location to another if both are at the same version of DB2 database system.

Important: This command has been deprecated and might be removed in a future release because the DB2 administration server (DAS) has been deprecated in Version 9.7. For more information, see DB2 administration server (DAS) has been deprecated.

This utility is located in the DB2DIR/instance directory on Linux and UNIX operating systems, where DB2DIR is the location where the current version of the DB2 database product is installed. On Windows operating systems, the dasupdt command is located in the DB2DIR\bin directory.

On Windows operating systems, this command updates the DAS from one DB2 copy to another within the same DB2 database version. To upgrade a DAS from an older version, use the dasmigr command. With dasupdt, the DAS will be updated to the DB2 copy that the dasupdt command is executed from.

After the installation of a fix pack, the dasupdt command is executed automatically, if the DAS on the system is related to the DB2 database product installation path updated by installFixPack.

Command parameters

For Linux and UNIX operating systems

-d: Sets the debug mode, which is used for problem analysis.
-D: Moves the DAS from a higher code level on one path to a lower code level installed on another path.
-h | -?: Displays usage information.

For Windows operating systems

-h: Displays usage information.
-p path_override: Indicates that the DAS profile should be moved as well. path_override is a user specified path to be used instead of the default DAS profile path.

Example

If a DAS is running in one DB2 database product installation path and you want to move the DAS to another installation path at a lower level (but the two installation paths are at the same version of DB2 database system), issue the following command from the installation path at the lower level:

dasupdt -D

Usage notes

On AIX® 6.1 (or higher), when running this command from a shared DB2 copy in a system workload partition (WPAR) global environment, this command must be run as the root user. WPAR is not supported in a DB2 pureScale® environment.
