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.
