The DB2 Extenders run in the DB2 client/server environment. This environment consists of a database server and one or more remote database clients. The DB2 extender services run on the server. Before you can access them, you have to start them.
After the environment is set up, you can stop and restart extender services from the client. From either the client or the server, you can get the status of the extenders.
EEE Only: In a multipartition environment, you can also add and drop database partitions.
