Usage notes

  • On Linux and UNIX operating systems, if you are using the su command instead of the login command to become the root user, you must issue the su command with the - option to indicate that the process environment is to be set as if you had logged in to the system using the login command.
  • On Linux and UNIX operating systems, you must not source the Db2 instance environment for the root user. Running db2ilist when you sourced the Db2 instance environment is not supported.

  • On AIX® 6.1 (or higher), when running this command from a shared Db2 copy in a system workload partition (WPAR) global environment, this command must be run as the root user. WPAR is not supported in a Db2 pureScale® environment.
