db2dsdcfgfill - Create configuration file db2dsdriver.cfg

Description

After installing IBM® Data Server Driver Package, you can run this command to automatically create and populate the db2dsdriver.cfg configuration file in a human-readable format.

The db2dsdcfgfill command copies the existing database directory information from either the existing IBM Data Server Client or IBM Data Server Runtime Client, and copies the information to the db2dsdriver.cfg configuration file.

Command syntax

>>-db2dsdcfgfill--+- -i--instance-name-+------------------------>

Command parameters

-i instance-name

The name of the database manager instance whose database directory, node directory, and Database Connection Services (DCS) directory will be used as input by the db2dsdcfgfill command.

Cannot be used in combination with -p.

-p instance-path

The full path of the database manager instance directory under which the system database directory, node directory, and DCS directory are located.

Cannot be used in combination with -i.

-o output-path

The path where the db2dsdcfgfill command will create the db2dsdriver.cfg configuration file. The configuration file should be created in one of the following paths:

• for IBM Data Server Client or IBM Data Server Runtime Client, the configuration file should be created in a folder named cfg under the instance path:
  • On AIX®, HP-UX, Linux®, or Solaris operating systems, instance_path/cfg
  • On Windows® operating systems, instance_path\cfg
• for IBM Data Server Driver Package, create the configuration file in a folder named cfg under the installation path:
  • On AIX, HP-UX, Linux, or Solaris operating systems, installation_path/cfg
  • On Windows operating systems, installation_path\cfg

If the db2dsdriver.cfg configuration file already exists, the db2dsdcfgfill command overwrites the existing db2dsdriver.cfg configuration file.
