AIX 5.3
DB2 8.2

/usr/opt/db2_08_01/instance #./dascrt -u db2sa
DBI1765W A non-existing user ID, db2ert, has been detected
from the registry.

Explanation:

The registry is containing a non-existing user ID. This can be
caused by just removing the instance user ID without first
dropping the instance. This will not affect the normal operation
of DB2, but it is recommended to remove this obsolete user ID
from the instance list in the registry.

User Response:

To remove this user ID from the registry with the command:
db2iset -d db2ert

SQL4406W The DB2 Administration Server was started successfully.
DBI1070I Program dascrt completed successfully.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?
THANKS!

have you tried dasdrop from root
dascrt -u xxxx

Yes. I did not include my dasdrop statement in my first message, but I did do just that, and I executed dascrt as root as well.

Any new insight on this? Not critical, but irritating.
Thanks.
