DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Updating the instance configuration (Windows)

To update the instance configuration on Windows, use the db2iupdt command.

About this task

Running the db2iupdt command updates the specified instance by performing the following:

Replaces the files in the sqllib subdirectory under the instance owner's home directory.
If the node type is changed, then a new database manager configuration file is created. This is done by merging relevant values from the existing database manager configuration file with the default database manager configuration file for the new node type. If a new database manager configuration file is created, the old file is backed up to the backup subdirectory of the sqllib subdirectory under the instance owner's home directory.

The db2iupdt command is found in \sqllib\bin directory.

The command is used as shown:
