Getting the correct db2diag.log for the correct Server instance on Windows

Troubleshooting


Problem

On Windows, the db2diag.log can be in different locations depending on the OS version, and there may be more than one Tivoli Storage Manager Server instance.

Symptom

Incorrect db2diag.log for the Server instance.

Resolving The Problem

Depending on the version of the Windows server, the db2diag.log can be in different locations. Also, there is a db2diag.log for each DB2 instance on the server. Use the following information to obtain the correct db2diag.log

NOTE: There may be multiple db2diag log files. This is normal. They will be named db2diag.#.log where # is the number in the sequence. Make sure to verify the date modified on the file. The db2diag.#.log file with most current date is the one that needs to be reviewed.

Windows 2008/2012 server:

The default location is:

C:\ProgramData\IBM\DB2\DB2TSM1\




Windows 2003:

The default location is:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\DB2\DB2TSM1

The example below shows two Server instances, SERVER1 and SERVER2.
