Quick Beginnings for DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition

Instance Directory

The instance directory stores all information that pertains to a database instance. You cannot change the location of the instance directory once it is created. The directory contains:

• The database manager configuration file
• The system database directory
• The node directory
• The DB2 diagnostic file (db2diag.log)
• Any other files that contain debugging information, such as the exception/register dump or the call stack for the DB2 processes.

The instance directory is located in the x:\sqllib directory, where x: is the drive where you installed DB2.
