Before installing a fix pack, if there are DB2® database products installed in the selected
installation path, you must stop all DB2 instances,
all DB2 services, and all applications.
If you have multiple DB2 copies,
stop only the DB2 processes
that are associated with the copy that you are updating.
Procedure
To stop the appropriate instances, services and applications:
- Determine which instances are associated with the DB2 copy by issuing the command:
DB2PATH\bin\db2ilist
where DB2PATH represents
the location where the DB2 copy
is installed.
- Stop all instances and DB2 services,
using the services control panel applet: . If you have active database clients, force
these clients off when stopping the instance. To force clients, issue
the following command:
db2stop force
Alternatively, use the task assistant for stopping
instances and forcing applications or client off theDB2 server in IBM® Data Studio.
