- Diagnostic Error Capture Level (diaglevel)
This parameter allows you to specify the fully qualified path for DB2
diagnostic information. This directory could possibly contain dump
files, trap files, an error log and an alert log file, depending on your
platform.
If this parameter is null, the diagnostic information will be written to
files in one of the following directories or folders:
- For OS/2, Windows, Windows 95, and Windows NT:
- If the DB2INSTPROF environment variable or keyword is not set,
information will be written to x:\SQLLIB\DB2INSTANCE,
where x: is the drive reference in the DB2PATH environment
variable or keyword and DB2INSTANCE is the name of the instance
owner.
| Note: | The directory does not have to be named SQLLIB.
|
- If the DB2INSTPROF environment variable or keyword is set, information
will be written to x:\DB2INSTPROF\DB2INSTANCE, where
DB2INSTPROF is the name of the instance profile directory.
- For UNIX-based environments: INSTHOME/sqllib/db2dump,
where INSTHOME is the home directory of the instance owner.
- For Macintosh environments: DB2 folder.
Recommendation: Use the default or have a centralized
location for the diagpath of multiple instances.
In a multinode environment, the path you specify must reside on a shared
file system.
