REXX API Syntax

This API can be called from REXX through the SQLDB2 interface. See How the API Descriptions are Organized, or the Application Development Guide. For a description of the syntax, see the Command Reference.

Usage Notes

If a message is returned, indicating that the node is not in use, use the db2stop command with DROP NODENUM to remove the entry for the node from the db2nodes.cfg file, which removes the node from the database system.

If a message is returned, indicating that the node is in use, the following actions should be taken:

  1. If the node contains data, redistribute the data to remove it from the node using sqludrdt - Redistribute Nodegroup. Use either the drop node option on the sqludrdt API, or the ALTER NODEGROUP statement to remove the node from any nodegroups for the database. This must be done for each database that contains the node in a nodegroup. For more information, see the SQL Reference.
  2. Drop any event monitors that are defined on the node.
  3. Rerun sqledrpn to ensure that the database is no longer in use.
