Database Partition Configuration File

-

The database partition configuration file (db2nodes.cfg) contains configuration information that tells DB2 which database partition on which server participates in an instance. There is a db2nodes.cfg file for each instance in a partitioned database environment.

 

On Linux and UNIX: $HOME/sqlllib/db2nodes.cfg

On Windows: sqllibdb2db2nodes.cfg

 The db2nodes.cfg file must contain one entry for each database partition on a particular server that will participate in the instance.

When you create an instance, the db2nodes.cfg file is automatically created, and an entry for the instance-owning database partition is added.

 

On Linux and UNIX, the database partition configuration file (db2nodes.cfg) uses the following format:

The format of the db2nodes.cfg file is as follows:

nodenum hostname logical port netname resourcesetname

 

where:

Dbpartitionnum is the number DB2 uses to identify a database partition.

Hostname is the network interface DB2 uses to communicate between database partitions. It is defined in the /etc/hosts file

Port_number is the logical port DB2 uses to distinguish between multiple database partitions on a server.

Netname is the switch network interface DB2 uses to improve performance, If not specified, the default is host name

Resourcesetname defines the operating system resource that the node should be started in

Db2 export command example using file format (del , ixf)

-
You want to transfer data from a db2 database table to another db2 database or within the same database, one of the way is to use db2 export / import command. Using db2 export / import you can move your data to excel also.   DB2 export command exports data selected by SQL statement from a table or view to an external files in the format of  del - delimited , wsf - worksheet format , ixf - Integration Exchange Format,asc.   The DEL format uses delimiter and column separator and decimal point. The default string delimiter is double quote " and column separator is comma(,) and Decimal Point is dot(.), you can also specify your own string delimiter & column separator, decimal point. Another format supported by DB2 is   IXF (Integration Exchange Format). It is a generic relational database exchange format which supports an end-of-record delimiter . IXF architecture supports to exchange of relational database structures and data. IXF is used for transferring data ...

How to fix DB2 Tablespace OFFLINE state issue?

-
Sometimes we face an error where one (or more) of our db2 tablespaces goes offline caused by loads, DB crashes, abnormal db2 services/or server shutdown, etc. So in this blogpost let us see how can we check which tablespace is in OFFLINE state and bring back tablespace’s state to ONLINE.   Finding TableSpace State To check which tablespace is OFFLINE, execute the below command: SYNTAX: db2 connect to <database_name> db2 list tablespaces |egrep -i "ID|Name|State" db2 list tablespaces show detail   If u see Tablespace state with 0x4000, then that tablespace is in Offline state There are 2 methods to resolve the tablespace from offline to online as below. Method1: We can execute below DB2 commands to take off tablespace's OFFLINE state.   db2 terminate db2 force application all db2 connect to <database_name>   Method 2:  Perform ALTER Tablespace command to bring the tablespace up while the rest of the database is still up...

Phases of a load operation

-
A complete load operation consists of five distinct phases; they are as follows: Analyze phase Load phase Build phase Delete phase Index copy phase Analyze phase:  This phase of the Load process is only utilized when a column-organized table is being loaded and the column compression dictionaries need to be built. This happens during a LOAD REPLACE operation, a LOAD REPLACE RESETDICTIONARY operation, a LOAD REPLACE RESETDICTIONARYONLY operation, or a LOAD INSERT operation (if the column-organized table is empty). For column-organized tables, this phase is followed by the load, build, and delete phases. The following diagram showcases the steps involved in the analyze phase. The analyze phase is invoked if you are loading data for the first time into a column-organized BLU acceleration table using LOAD INSERT, or running a LOAD REPLACE with RESETDICTIONARY or RESETDICTIONARYONLY clause. Load phase:  During this phase, data is loaded into the table, and index keys and table stat...
