Instance Profile Manager

Version 5

The DB2 environment variables are consolidated into the DB2 Instance Profile Registry.

This helps you by:

• Supporting multiple environment profiles (one per instance)
• Providing a machine-wide default (global) profile
• Supporting a machine-wide default DB2 instance name
• Eliminating the need to reboot the machine when a variable is modified
• Supporting user/application overrides
• Centralizing control of environment variables
• Providing a command line tool to modify the externalized variables
• Enabling remote administration via the command line and the graphical tools.

A new command, DB2SET, displays, sets, or removes DB2 profile variables. See the Command Reference for details.
