17.6. The db2support Tool

The

db2support tool collects all diagnostic information, including the db2diag.log, dumps, and traps in one single file called

db2support.zip . DB2 Technical Support usually requests this zip file. With this handy tool, you do not have to look for the diagnostic files manually.

The syntax of the

db2support command is

db2support  
output_path  
-d  
db_alias options 

This creates the file

db2support.zip under

output_path for the database

db_alias after the command is completed. The following options are usually required when running the

db2support command:

• -g collects all files under the DIAGPATH directory. This includes the db2diag.log, dump files, trap files, and the DB2 administration notification log.

• -s collects detailed hardware and operating system information.
