DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2

The following issues have been discovered: 
 
1. The db2fmcu utility may fail to create the service manifest 
file. It attempts to create the file in the 
/var/svc/manifest/application/database directory which might not 
necessarily exist. 
 
Steps to reproduce (on a zone in which the 
/var/svc/manifest/application/database directory does not exist) 
a. invoke "./db2fmcu -u -p DB2DIR/bin/db2fmcd" as root 
 
Fix: Create the service manifest and startup method file in the 
DB2DIR/cfg directory. 
 
 
2. The db2fmcu utility does not delete the service manifest and 
startup method files. In addition to this, it also disables the 
service instead of removing it from the repository. 
 
Steps to reproduce (on a zone in which the db2fm SMF service has 
been configured): 
a. invoke "./db2fmcu" -d as root 
 
Fix: the service manifest and startup method files are deleted 
and the service is removed from the repository. 
 
 
3. Implementation does not support the disable method. 
 
Steps to reproduce (on a zone in which the db2fm SMF service has 
been configured): 
a. root@host01:bin# svcs database/db2fm 
     STATE          STIME    FMRI 
     online         16:50:48 
svc:/application/database/db2fm:default 
b. root@host01:bin# svcadm disable db2fm 
c. root@host01:bin# svcs database/db2fm 
     STATE          STIME    FMRI 
     disabled       16:56:15 
svc:/application/database/db2fm:default 
d. root@host01:bin# pgrep db2fmcd 
     15709 
e. root@host01:bin# ps -fp 15709 
     UID   PID    PPID   C    STIME TTY    TIME   CMD 
     root  15709  1599   0    16:50:49 ?   0:01 
/opt/IBM/db2/V9.7B/bin/db2fmcd 
 
Fix: The current implementation of the disable method is a 
no-op, the fix is to issue a kill against the db2fmcd process in 
this case. 
 
APAR IC84200 should have fixed the issue, however did not 
completely resolve the issue. This APAR is to fix the following: 
 
 
1. db2fmcu fails to create the manifest. 
-> The manifest and startup method will be created in the 
DB2DIR/cfg directory. 
 
2. db2fmcu fails to clean up when asked to do so. 
-> Running db2fmcu -d will now delete the service and the 
corresponding manifest and startup method files. 
 
3. Implementation does not support disable. 
-> Stop and refresh methods are now implemented. 
 
 
This APAR also updates service properties:
