During installation, by default, temporary files will be created
under /tmp directory. However one can change the location of
temporary files using DB2TMPDIR variable.
If one is using non default location to store temporary files
i.e some other directory than /tmp, DB2 will still try to write
temporary files to /tmp directory causing error message like
below:
DBI20043E DB2 failed to install because of restrictive
permission settings on the temporary directory, "/tmp". ,
In installation trace, you may see flow like below:
