hi ,

i am trying to install the fix pack 4 for db2 9.7 on Linux environment for that process i need to kill all the active db

i tried it with db2stop force application all

but the fenced user is still active..how do i kill this user ???

tried killing it forcibly : kill -9 "fenced username" but dint work.. and also i do not want to kill it at the OS level

Hi,

which OS are you using?

It's "db2stop force" or "db2 force application all". Both do different things.
Also it's "kill -9 <PROCESSID>".

Maybe you should start with:
Applying fix packs - IBM DB2 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

I am using Linux....
i tried to stop all applications as well as the database, which did not help in stopping the fenced user.
and "kill -9 <PROCESSID>" kills it at the OS level...(which is not advisable)
i just wanted to know the db2 command to kill the fenced users???

and thank you for the manual...i was able to apply the fix pack.

how did you discover the fenced user process
getting any error with db2stop / applying fixpack
db2 force application .. can be used to remove agents -
sharing details would help

after doing a db2stop and when i try to give

./installFixPack -b <path of dir>

it throws an error saying fenced user is still active...and the process terminates

db2 force applications all
db2stop
db2licd -end
db2admin stop
db2fmcu –d
ipclean -a

then try a again
