Hello again,
thanks for your answers!
The "svcename" set to null really was the problem.
I would like to reset my dbm cfg again not sitting at the server, but at a
remote client. Is there any possibility to specify the svcename already
during my reset?
Otherwise, I can't update the svcename on my own, because after resetting my
dbm cfg I can't connect to the database, of course ;-) Then I would have to
ask anyone sitting at the server to update it.
Would be great if you also know a solution to this problem.
Cheers,
Ina

If you are at a remote client and want to change parms. of the remote dbm
then you need to use:
1) The Admin. Tools, ie Control Center, access the instance and change its
communications parms. Ypu'll need the SYSADMIN id for that instance.
Stop/Start the instance.
2) Use TelNet or whatever to start a local session on the remote server at
your wkstn. Isuue the db2 update dbm cfg using svcename command.
Stop/start the instance.
Shut the TelNet session or the Control Center.and go from there to update
your local client files.
HTH, Pierre.

You have to have an attachment to the server instance (see the ATTACH
command). The DB2 control center does the attach under the covers for you
in case you are a "Mausschubser". ;-)

Well, you can run the update from the client. You just have to make sure
that you set the SVCENAME _before_ DB2 is restarted. The thing is that the
reset becomes effective after the restart of the engine. Thus, you should
still be able to connect to the server (from the client) until that restart
took place.
