how to find the db2 udb instance has stopped/started

[princeluke]

Hi,

Whether is there any way to find stopped/started timestamp of a db2 udb
instance other than the db2diag.log files.Is there any catalog table
available to get the timestamp informations or by using stored
procedures we can get the information's.

Thanks in advance.

Hai Prince ...
As this is relating to the instance i guess there wont be any table
from where we can get the timestamp.B'cos to access a table we need a
database connection and the table will be specific to that database. As
Table is an object which is specific to a database i guess we cannot
get the information for the instance as a whole....
So the only option left is the db2diag.log.

But ..
If there is any error when starting or stopping the instance a log is
created in the following locations with the timestamp.

Windows : C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\DB2\log
Linux or UNIX : <instance home dir >/sqllib/log

Format of the file is : db2start.<timestamp when it happened>.errlog
db2stop.<timestamp when it
happened>.errlog

This is my view please let me know if we have any other way to find
.....

Thanks

I guess this is the same with Stored procedures also...

So there are two options we have now

1. Command to find the timestamp when an instance is started/stopped
..---- not sure about this ---according to my knowledge we dont have any
such command

2. As u said db2diag.log.....

db2stop.<timestamp when it

"db2 get snapshot for dbm"

will show you the "Start Database Manager timestamp". There's also an
equivalent udf available.

Yes this is giving the timestamp.. Thanks Udo for the information....

db2 get snapshot for dbm

Database Manager Snapshot

Node type = Enterprise Server
Edition with local and remote clients
Instance name = db2inst1
Number of database partitions in DB2 instance = 1
Database manager status = Active

Product name = DB2 v8.1.0.64
Service level = s040812 (MI00086)

Private Sort heap allocated = 0
Private Sort heap high water mark = 0
Post threshold sorts = Not Collected
Piped sorts requested = 0
Piped sorts accepted = 0

Start Database Manager timestamp = 01/02/2007
11:59:00.453926
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last reset timestamp =
Snapshot timestamp = 01/02/2007
11:59:06.548066

Is there any catalog table from which it is getting the information ?
if so the assumptions i gave in the first mail is wrong..
Thanks in advance ....
