Upgrading your DB2® Administration Server (DAS)
is only necessary to keep your existing DAS configuration.
Otherwise, you can drop your existing DAS and create
a new DAS in DB2 Version 10.5.
Start
using IBM® Data Studio and IBM Optim™ tools. For a mapping between these recommended tools and
Control Center tools, see Table of recommended tools versus Control Center
tools.
Important: The DB2 Administration Server (DAS)
has been deprecated in Version 9.7 and might be removed in a future
release. The DAS is not supported in
DB2 pureScale® environments.
Use software programs that use the Secure Shell protocol for remote
administration. For more information, see
DB2 administration server (DAS) has been deprecated .
Before you begin
- Ensure that you have SYSADM authority, and root access on Linux and UNIX operating systems or Local Administrator
authority on Windows operating
systems.
Restrictions
- You can have only one DAS per computer.
Procedure
To upgrade the DAS:
- Log on to the DB2 server
as root on Linux and UNIX operating systems or Local
Administrator authority on Windows.
- Upgrade your existing DAS by running the dasmigr command:
Operating system |
Command syntax |
Linux and UNIX |
$DB2DIR/instance/dasmigr |
Windows |
%DB2PATH%\bin\dasmigr |
Where DB2DIR and DB2PATH indicate
the location that you specified during DB2 Version 10.5 installation.
If the DAS is running, the dasmigr command
stops the DAS before upgrade and starts the DAS after upgrade.
- If
you created a tools catalog database and want to use your existing
scripts and schedules in DB2 Version 10.5, perform the following steps:
You should upgrade your tools catalog whether you decide to
upgrade your DAS or not.
- If you do not upgrade or do not have
a tools catalog database, you can create
one in a DB2Version 10.5 instance to use the task scheduling capability.
Results
You
can now use the DAS to administer
DB2 Version 10.5 instances, as well as pre-
DB2 Version 10.5 instances.
