Quick Beginnings for DB2 Universal Database for UNIX

Pre-Migration

To ensure that all databases on your system can be migrated to DB2 Version 5, perform the following steps:

Complete all database transactions.
Ensure all applications disconnect from each database.
Ensure all databases are cataloged.

The db2ckmig database migration verification command does not verify uncataloged databases. See Verify that Databases Can Be Migrated for a description of how db2ckmig works.
Make a backup copy of all databases. Refer to the Administration Guide for your DB2 product for information on making a backup copy of a database and to the Command Reference for the syntax of the backup command.
Note: Make sure that this is the most recent backup copy of the database before you start the next procedure.
Stop the database manager by entering the db2stop command.
Ensure that the instance environment setup script, db2profile, under the instance's INSTHOME/sqllib/ directory is of the proper Bourne shell syntax.
Ensure that each export statement is separated into different lines. For example:
```
   DB2INSTANCE=db2inst1
   export DB2INSTANCE
```
