APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When regular container paths are located within the directory
  structure of an automatic storage path. Then it is is possible
  that db2relocatedb will rename the regular containers paths
  incorrectly if wildcard replacement is used.
  
  e.g. if the db2relocatedb config file contains :
  
  CONT_PATH=/xxx/yyy/data/subdir/*, /xxx/zzz/data/subdir/*
  STORAGE_PATH=/xxx/yyy/data, /xxx/zzz/data
  
  Then this may result in the the STORAGE_PATH setting being used
  to replace containers that are located in the subdir directory.
  

Local fix

• Workaround : Perform db2relocatedb twice, once only for regular
  containers ( commenting out the storage_path settings ) and then
  the second time, only for the storage_paths ( commenting out the
  cont_path settings ).
  

Problem summary

• Users affected : db2relocatedb users having automatic storage
  Problem description : incorrect container locations
  Problem Summary : This apar fixes this problem.
  

Problem conclusion

• First fixed in DB2 UDB Version 9, Fixpak 5
