The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't specify DB2 file path

Asked by brittonv in DB2 Database, Databases Miscellaneous

Be forewarned, I am very new to DB2!

I am trying to move a DB2 database to a new server.

When i specify the file path I want the DB to sit on it is ignored.

Here are the commands I am using:
db2 restore db VFUAT from /home/db2inst1/databases/part1/restoresource/VFUAT to /home/db2inst1/databases/part1/VFUAT into VFUAT

But I am getting the following output:
SQL1051N  The path "/home/db2inst1/databases/vfuat/part1" does not exist.
SQLSTATE=57019

So I tried to create the VFUAT database and restore the data:

db2inst1@mtc-db2-uat:~> create database VFUAT on /home/db2inst1/databases/part1/VFUAT
-bash: create: command not found
db2inst1@mtc-db2-uat:~> db2 create database VFUAT on /home/db2inst1/databases/part1/VFUAT
DB20000I  The CREATE DATABASE command completed successfully.
db2inst1@mtc-db2-uat:~> db2 restore db VFUAT from /home/db2inst1/databases/part1/restoresource/VFUAT to /home/db2inst1/databases/part1/VFUAT into VFUAT
SQL2523W  Warning!  Restoring to an existing database that is different from
the database on the backup image, but have matching names. The target database
will be overwritten by the backup version.  The Roll-forward recovery logs
associated with the target database will be deleted.
Do you want to continue ? (y/n) y
SQL1051N  The path "/home/db2inst1/databases/vfuat/part1" does not exist.
SQLSTATE=57019


It is referencing the old path, what am I doing wrong?
