Listing Instances

On OS/2, Windows 95, or Windows NT Systems:

To get a list of all the database instances that are available on a system, run the db2ilist command.

On UNIX Systems:

The db2ilist command is located in:

   DB2DIR/bin/db2ilist


where DB2DIR = /usr/lpp/db2_05_00 on AIX


= /opt/IBMdb2/V5.0 on HP-UX or Solaris


= /usr/IBMdb2/V2.1 on SCO OpenServer


= /opt/IBMdb2/V2.1 on SINIX or SGI

To determine which database instance applies in the current session, enter:

   echo $DB2INSTANCE
