Before installing a fix pack, if there are Db2 database products
installed in the selected installation path, you must stop all Db2 instances, services,
and all other applications. If you have multiple Db2 copies, stop only the
Db2 processes
that are associated with the copy that you are updating.
Procedure
To stop the appropriate instances, services and applications:
-
Determine which instances are associated with the Db2 copy by issuing the
command:
DB2PATH\bin\db2ilist
where
DB2PATH represents the location where the
Db2 copy is
installed.
-
Stop all instances and Db2 services, using the
services control panel applet: .
If you have active database clients, force these clients off when stopping the instance. To
force clients, issue the following command:
db2stop force
Alternatively, use the task assistant for stopping instances and forcing
applications or client off the Db2 server in IBM® Data
Studio.
