Command Reference

How the Command Descriptions are Organized

A short description of each command precedes some or all of the following subsections.

Scope

The command's scope of operation within the instance. In a single-node system, the scope is that single node only. In a multi-node system, it is the collection of all logical nodes defined in the node configuration file, db2nodes.cfg.

Authorization

The authority required to successfully invoke the command.

Required Connection

One of the following: database, instance, none, or establishes a connection. Indicates whether the function requires a database connection, an instance attachment, or no connection to operate successfully. An explicit connection to the database or attachment to the instance may be required before a particular command can be issued. Commands that require a database connection or an instance attachment can be executed either locally or remotely. Those that require neither cannot be executed remotely; when issued at the client, they affect the client environment only. For information about database connections and instance attachments, see the Administration Guide.

Command Syntax

For information about syntax diagrams, see Appendix A. How to Read the Syntax Diagrams.

Command Parameters

A description of the parameters available to the command.
