dascrt - Create a Db2 administration server command

The Db2 Administration Server provides support services for remote administration and Db2 administration tools such as the Replication Center. If a system does not have a DAS, you can use this command to manually generate it.

Important: This command has been deprecated and might be removed in a future release because the Db2 administration server (DAS) has been deprecated. For more information, see Db2 administration server (DAS) has been deprecated.

The dascrt command is located in the DB2DIR/instance directory, where DB2DIR is the location where the current version of the Db2 database product is installed.

This command is available on Linux® and UNIX operating systems only. On Windows operating systems, you can use the db2admin create command for the same purpose.

Note: The Db2 Administration Server (DAS) has been deprecated and might be removed in a future release. The DAS is not supported in Db2 pureScale® environments. Use software programs that use the Secure Shell protocol for remote administration. For more information, see Db2 administration server (DAS) has been deprecated .
