The db2nkill tool is not shipped in DB2 Universal Database (UDB) Workgroup Server Edition Version 8. This may cause various problems, including 8failure while using the "db2gcf -k" command.
8For example, Issuing the "db2gcf -k -i psustr -p 0 -L" command 8causes the following response:
8Instance : psustr 8DB2 Kill : Failure 8Partition 0 : Failure8
The corresponding entry in the db2diag.log file 8is as follows:
82003-07-06-22.11.40.241991 pid:26366 tid:1 level:2 8Common - Generic Control Facility - gcf_kill() probe:220 8impact 0x900002C1 DB2 kill service failed 8data #1 (36 bytes) 8 'psustr', 0 : could not be killed.
The same scenario works without any failures on DB2 UDB Enterprise Server Edition. Use the 8db2nkill tool that ships with DB2 UDB Enterprise Server Edition Version 88.
