Database unconfiguration from a directory server instance

Edit online

To use an existing directory server instance with another DB2® database, you must unconfigure the existing DB2 database from an instance.

For a directory server instance, you can unconfigure a database only if you configured DB2 database for the instance.

With Configuration Tool or the idsucfgdb command, you can choose to run the following operations:

  • Remove the DB2 database information from the configuration file of a directory server instance. In this operation, the utility unconfigures the DB2 database from an instance and does not delete the DB2 database.
  • Remove the DB2 database information from the configuration file of a directory server instance and delete the DB2 database. In this operation, the DB2 database is deleted and all data is lost.

After you unconfigure the DB2 database from a directory server instance, the database is inaccessible to the instance.

For a proxy server instance, the database unconfiguration operation is not supported.
