Abstract

Unable to set DB2COMM when DB2_WORKLOAD is set to SAP

Body

In SAP environment, DB2_WORKLOAD is set to SAP. This is an aggregate registry variable and

setting DB2_WORKLOAD to SAP automatically set DB2COMM to TCPIP:

[i] DB2COMM=TCPIP [DB2_WORKLOAD]

 

In this environment, unsetting DB2COMM returns following error:

db2inst1@bigmac:/home/db2inst1> db2set DB2COMM=

DBI1302E  Invalid parameter detected.

Explanation:

An invalid parameter was used.

User response:

Use the -? option for the usage help message.

If you want to temporarily disable DB2COMM, a workaround is to set SVCENAME in database manager

configure to NULL.
