Stopping non-root instances (Linux and UNIX)

DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

You must stop your non-root instance before uninstalling your DB2® product.

Note:

This task applies to DB2 products that were installed with non-root authority.

To stop a DB2 instance:

Run the start up script if it is not included in .profile.

. $HOME/sqllib/db2profile       (bash, Bourne, or Korn shells) 
source $HOME/sqllib/db2cshrc    (C shell)

where $HOME is your home directory.

You might want to save any of the following files:
- The database manager configuration file, db2systm
- The configuration file used to enable root features before running db2rfe.
- User defined functions or fenced stored procedure applications in $HOME/sqllib/function.
Stop the DB2 database manager by entering the db2stop force command.
Confirm that the instance is stopped by entering the db2 terminate command.
