Chapter 1. System Commands
This chapter provides information about the commands that can be entered at anoperating system command prompt, or in a shell script, to access and maintain the
database manager.
Notes:
1. Slashes (/) in directory paths are specific to UNIX based systems, and are
equivalent to back slashes (\) in directory paths on Windows operating
systems.
2. The term Windows normally refers to all supported versions of Microsoft
Windows. Supported versions include those versions based on Windows NT
and those based on Windows 9x. Specific references to Windows NT-based
operating systems may occur when the function in question is supported on
Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows .NET and Windows XP but not on
Windows 9x. If there is a function that is specific to a particular version of
Windows, the valid version or versions of the operating system will be noted.
How the command descriptions are organized
A short description of each command precedes some or all of the followingsubsections.
Scope:
The command's scope of operation within the instance. In a single-database-
partition system, the scope is that single database partition only. In a
multi-database-partition system, it is the collection of all logical database partitions
defined in the database partition configuration file, db2nodes.cfg.
Authorization:
The authority required to successfully invoke the command.
Required connection:
One of the following: database, instance, none, or establishes a connection.
Indicates whether the function requires a database connection, an instance
attachment, or no connection to operate successfully. An explicit connection to the
database or attachment to the instance may be required before a particular
command can be issued. Commands that require a database connection or an
instance attachment can be executed either locally or remotely. Those that require
neither cannot be executed remotely; when issued at the client, they affect the
client environment only.
Command syntax:
A syntax diagram shows how a command should be specified so that the
operating system can correctly interpret what is typed. For more information about
syntax diagrams, see Appendix A, 'How to read the syntax diagrams,' on page
751.
