DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2

The Control Center in DB2 v9.7 has a problem updating DBM CFG 
parameters. Specifically the ones that take a text string, like 
SVCENAME. You can update SVCENAME to a number, but not to a 
name. After updating SVCENAME, and pressing 'OK', nothing 
happens. The 'Change DBM Configuration Parameter' window remains 
until you click 'Cancel'.

* USERS AFFECTED:                                              *

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         * 
* The Control Center can be used to update the Database        * 
* Manager Configuration by right-clicking on the Instance and  * 
* select 'Configure Parameters'. If you attempt to update a    * 
* parameter that takes a Text string value, like SVCENAME,     * 
* nothing will happen after you click on 'OK'. You have to     * 
* click on 'Cancel' to proceed, and that means the update will * 
* not be applied.                                              * 
*                                                              * 
* This problem only applies to text entries, so in this        * 
* example, you would be able to change SVCENAME to a numerical * 
* value.                                                       * 
**************************************************************** 
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              * 
* None, you must update the Database Manager configuration     * 
* from the CLP using the UPDATE DBM CFG command.               * 
****************************************************************

None. Work-around is to manually update the dbm cfg from the CLP
