If directory caching is enabled, database, node, and DCS directory files are cached in memory. To see if directory caching is enabled, check the value for the dir_cache directory cache support configuration parameter in the output from the GET DATABASE MANAGER CONFIGURATION command. An application's directory cache is created during its first directory lookup. Since the cache is only refreshed when the application modifies any of the directory files, directory changes made by other applications might not be effective until the application has restarted.

To refresh the CLP's directory cache, use the TERMINATE command. To refresh the database manager's shared cache, stop (db2stop) and then restart (db2start) the database manager. To refresh the directory cache for another application, stop and then restart that application.
