Database creation logs and return codes

Edit online

The log file is automatically generated when you create a database during the initial configuration of License Metric Tool. The log file contains a return code that can help you check why database creation or validation failed. The file is in the /tmp directory and has a time stamp suffix, for example: /tmp/createdb_20131018-131841.

The log file is created only if you installed License Metric Tool on Linux® and use a DB2® server.

Return codes

Check the return code to find the reasons for database creation problems.

Table 1. Return codes for the create database script
Return code	Description and possible solutions
0	Database successfully created.
1	Help message is displayed, or incorrect syntax.
100	One or more errors occurred during the database creation. Database creation error. Check the database creation log: creation log /tmp/createdb_latest_timestamp.
101	Database already created.
102	One or more errors occurred during the database validation. There is something wrong with the DB2 commands run from the script. The script requires a correctly initialized DB2 environment.
103	The DB2 version could not be correctly read from the db2level command. The db2level command returned the DB2 version string in an unexpected format.
104	Unsupported database version. You can check the version by running the db2level and db2licm -l commands as the SYSADM user.
105	An unsupported edition of the database was found in the system. You can check the version by running the db2level and db2licm -l commands as the SYSADM user.
127	Cannot run the db2 command. Incorrectly configured DB2 instance. The user that runs the script must have SYSADM authority. Try to run the script as the DB2 instance owner.
