. as db2 instance owner: 
 
export DB2_UTIL_MSGPATH=<path_for_messages> 
 
db2set -all 
 
[e] DB2_UTIL_MSGPATH=<path_for_messages>

the system, as root run: 
 
db2set -g DB2_UTIL_MSGPATH=<path_for_messages> 
 
or 
 
. to set it at the instance level, as db2 instance owner run: 
 
export DB2_UTIL_MSGPATH=<path_for_messages>
