The DB2 version is: DB2 v7.1.0.40

OS is AIX: 5200-06

Scenerio: I am logged in as db2inst1. After typing "db2 get instance".

I get "The current database manager instance is: db2inst1". Now what I do is run the db2profile for another instance(db2inst2) just by typing '. /db2inst2/sqllib/db2profile". It shows me it ran the profile fine I can also list db directory and get DBs for db2inst2 but for reason when I type "db2 get instance" my response is ""The current database manager instance is: db2inst1" which is not expected I am expecting to see db2inst2. The IBM document says this command shows the value of DB2INSTANCE environment variable. The DB2INSTANCE variable shows db2inst2.

Any response is greatly appreciated

try "db2 terminate" before running another profile
