DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Setting DB2 registry variables at the user level in the LDAP environment

Under the LDAP environment, the DB2® profile registry variables can be set at the user level which allows a user to customize their own DB2 environment.

About this task

DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows has a caching mechanism. The DB2 profile registry variables at the user level are cached on the local computer.

The cache is refreshed when:

You update or reset a DB2 registry variable at the user level.
You issue the command to refresh the LDAP profile variables at the user level:
```
   db2set -ur
```

Procedure

To set the DB2 profile registry variables at the user level, use the -ul option:

   db2set -ul variable=value

Note: This is not supported on AIX® or Solaris operating systems.

If the -ul parameter is specified, DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows always reads from the cache for the DB2 registry variables.
