Installation fails with "No valid local database found" error

During the IBM Spectrum® Control installation, an error occurs stating that no valid databases were found.

Action

This problem can occur if the db2profile is not sourced correctly, or if Db2® has not installed successfully. To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:
  1. If the installation is on a UNIX® server, be sure to source the db2profile. For example, for an instance of db2inst1, source the db2profile by entering the following: . /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile. Note the space between the . and /home.
  2. Verify the Db2 installation. See Verifying that Db2 is installed correctly for information about how to verify a Db2 installation.
