DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2

If the unix machine where the Rich text feature is installed 
uses a third party authentication method at the operating system 
level, the richtextTool.sh script may fail when trying to enable 
or disable the feature. The script relies on information in the 
/etc/passwd file to resolve the instance owner's home directory 
and if the authentication method does not use (or update) the 
local /etc/passwd file the script may fail with the following 
error: 
 
CIE00424E The DB2 Text Search configuration directory named "%1" 
for  the DB2 instance named "%2" does not exist.

Hardcode the required value in the script: 
 
#DB2INSTANCE_HOME=`awk -F: '$1 ~ /^'"$DB2INSTANCE"'$/ {print 
$6}' /etc/passwd` <--- comment out 
   DB2INSTANCE_HOME=<your instance home directory>     <----- 
add this line with your instance home directory hard coded

/etc/passwd file will not be helpful if any third party 
authentication method is in use. 
This has been changed to use db2usrinf utility.
