Administering Satellites Guide and Reference

Re-Creating or Updating the satadmin.aut File

If the satadmin.aut file on a satellite is either destroyed or out-of-date, you can have the file either re-created or updated on the satellite.

Note:

Before you can perform the following steps, you must either set the DB2SATELLITEID registry variable to the satellite ID, or you must be logged on as the user ID that will be used to synchronize. For additional information, see Satellite ID Is Not Set on Satellite.

To re-create or update the satadmin.aut file:

1. Start the DB2 Synchronizer application in test mode by issuing the following command on the satellite:

      db2sync -t
   

2. Click the Test push button.

   If the satadmin.aut file no longer exists on the satellite or is out-of-date, no authentication credentials exist that the satellite can use to authenticate with the DB2 control server. In this situation, the SQLCODE -3966 is issued, and the Connect to Control Database window opens. Use this window to specify the authentication credentials to use to connect to the satellite control database. For information about using the Connect to Control Database window, refer to the online help that is available from the window. When you provide the correct user ID and password, the DB2 control server will authenticate the satellite, and the satadmin.aut file will be either re-created or updated on the satellite.

3. Close the DB2 Synchronizer window.
4. Start another synchronization session via the application that you use to synchronize.
