Can we issue the "force applications" command from within a sql call?

Connected to BD2 8.2 via JDBC, can we force an application off the
database?

We know we can use the snapshot functions to get a view over connected
users, that works find through a standard SQL call. Now I'd like to
select one of those users and force it off. You can imagine the simple
GUI action, select connected user - right-click - force - confirm and
bang, the user's off.

It's that last bit I'm having trouble with. I haven't yet identified a)
whether I can issue the command b) what command it would be and c) how
best to call that command.

Any advice on these will be greatly appreciated.

I don't think there is a built-in SQL API. If it does exist (a lot was
added in DB2 9) is ought to be part of the sysproc.admin_c md() procedure
interface.

Thanks, Serge. That does give me exactly what I want... but not until
v9.

Still, it's good to know it's around for the future.

Hello, Our QA team have running a lot of test scripts (for automated regression testing), they run them on the different databases (Oracle/MS SQL). Several of those tests are dependent on the current date/time. In order to be able to use them efficiently, we changed the current date/time on the QA database server to a specific date/time before starting the scripts, so we are sure the test scripts always run in the same environment.
