Hi,

After installation of a new maintenancelevel on aix (5.3, ML 05) db2
administration server doesn't start anymore.

After starting I get the error: SQL1042C An unexpected system error
occurred.

Did anyone encounter the same problem and knows how to solve this?

We ar running db2V8 Fixpak 13.

Greetings

The PC version can be repaired "db2admin drop" and then "db2admin create".

But I remember that the AIX version behaves different and Knut posted a
solution here some month ago.

Hi Bernd,

The db2admin drop and create was the first thing I tried, but it didn't
solve the problem.
An efix from IBM on AIX did.

Thanks anyway

We had this problem recently as well, on AIX 5.3 with DB2 8.1 FP10.
Seems that TL05 with SP1 or SP2 has a problem (IY89861) and DB2 is
affected in some userauth functions.

We were getting SQL1092 errors during dascrt steps, and later the
db2adm user could not start the AdminServer (SQL1042).

After applying the efix for IY89861 on top of TL05-SP2, things are
now working correctly again.

HTH, Eric

Thanks Eric.

We received the efix from IBM and things are working fine now
