Hi all:
Here is my scenario:
-Windows 2000
-DB2 Personal Edition 8.1.3

Here are steps I performed:

1) I uninstall db2 then reinstall it. (I saved my old "c:\DB2" directory as "c:\db2bkp", cause I wanted to recover the database called "datges")
2) My databases after step 1 were: TOOLSDB and SAMPLE
3) I moved the database directory I want to recover to the c:\DB2.
4) Form Command Centre I ran the command:
"catalog db datges on c:"
5) The "list db directory" shows me the new entry, but when i try to connect
to datges (from CC or Command Centre), I get SQL1013N.

Is there something I didn't do?...any idea/tip/guide?.

Thanks in advance.

what does

db2 list db directory on C:\

give you

Hi:
That command doesn't show me the new entry:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Número de entradas en directorio = 2

Entrada 1 de base de datos:
Alias de base de datos = TOOLSDB
Nombre de base de datos = TOOLSDB
Directorio base datos = SQL00001
Nivel release de base de datos = a.00
Comentario =
Tipo de entrada del directorio = Inicial
Número partición base datos catálogo = 0
Número de partición de base de datos = 0

Entrada 2 de base de datos:
Alias de base de datos = SAMPLE
Nombre de base de datos = SAMPLE
Directorio base datos = SQL00002
Nivel release de base de datos = a.00
Comentario =
Tipo de entrada del directorio = Inicial
Número partición base datos catálogo = 0
Número de partición de base de datos = 0
-----------------------------------------------------------

Clearly datges is not present in the instance ...

I guess you want to create the database

db2 create database datges ...

Refer command reference

I see.
Im going to try with Create but I don't know if Create lets you create a DB from an existing DB.
Tnx.
