A database in a Db2 pureScale environment can be activated explicitly with the ACTIVATE DATABASE command, or implicitly when the first client connects.

  • SYSMAINT
  • SYSCTRL
  • SYSADM

About this task

In a Db2 pureScale environment, after the last user disconnects the database remains activated. In order to shut the database down, you must issue a DEACTIVATE DATABASE command or, db2stop command.

Procedure
