DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC84591 Status: Closed

EMPTY FOLDER "C_IBM_DATA_SERVER_DRIVER_FOR_ODBC_CLI_CLIDRIVER" I
S GETTING CREATED IN THE DEFAULT PATH EVEN ON PROVIDING THE APPD

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
Empty folder C_ibm_data_server_driver_for_odbc_cli_clidriver is 
getting created in the default path even on providing the 
appdatapath 
 
Steps to reproduce: 
 
1) Unzip ibm_data_server_driver_for_odbc_cli to to C:\ 
2) Register CLI driver with the below command: 
 
db2cli install -setup -appdatapath "C:\appdpath" 
 
 
Observations: 
 
1) In the folder C:\appdpath cfg and other directories are 
getting created 
2) But in the default location: 
 
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\DB2\ 
 
and empty folder C_ibm_data_server_driver_for_odbc_cli_clidriver 
is getting created. 
 
Which should not get created. 
 
3) Also when we are providing some non existent drive "W:\nonex" 
even though the registration comes out with error, an empty 
folder C_ibm_data_server_driver_for_odbc_cli_clidriver is 
getting created in the default path.
