Usage notes

  • For UNIX and Linux systems only:
    When using an HTTP proxy server, you must set your HTTP proxy host name and port in a properties file before you can use the db2updserv command. To set up your HTTP proxy server host name and port, edit the DB2DIR/java/jdk64/jre/lib/net.properties file, where DB2DIR is the location where the current version of the Db2 database product is installed. Edit the file to include the following parameters: 
    http.proxyHost=host name
http.proxyPort=port number
    Where host name is the host name of your HTTP proxy server and port number is the port number for your HTTP proxy.
    For example: 
    http.proxyHost=proxy.mycompany.com
http.proxyPort=80

    If other Java applications need to connect to other servers directly and not through an HTTP proxy server, than specify the server host names in the nonProxyHosts parameter.
