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.
