Setting and changing information catalog administrators: You can use the Manage Information Catalog Users window to change the user IDs of your information catalog administrators. You can enter the user IDs of the primary and backup administrators in the Primary user ID and Backup user ID fields, respectively.
Before you change the primary administrator, ensure that the new primary administrator has SYSADM authority if your information catalog is stored in a DB2 UDB for Windows NT, DB2 UDB for AIX, DB2 UDB for the Solaris Operating Environment, DB2 UDB EEE, DB2 UDB for OS/390, or DB2 UDB for OS/2 database. If your information catalog is stored in a DB2 UDB for AS/400 database, make sure that the new primary administrator has ALLOBJ authority.
If you enter an incorrect user ID for both primary and backup administrators and cannot access your information catalog, use the Information Catalog Manager ALTERKA command to set the correct user ID. To change an administrator for an information catalog, enter the following command at an MS-DOS command prompt:
X:Program Files\SQLLIB\BIN\ALTERKA
where X is the drive where the DB2 Universal Database is installed.
At the prompt, enter the information catalog name, user ID, and password. Separate the values with blanks:
ICMSAMP longods secret
At the prompt, enter the administrator user ID that you want to alter, the action (add, delete, or update), and the user ID type (primary or backup). Separate the values with blanks:
valdezma D B
The example deletes the backup administrator user ID, valdezma.
