A DB2 instance is an environment in which you store data and run applications.

Before you begin

You must have root user authority.

Run the following commands:

# cd /opt/db2/product/11.1.0/instance

If your DataMart and DB2 database are installed on different hosts, you need to run the DB2 configuration settings steps on the DataMart client host. See, Db2 configuration settings.
