DB2 - Problem description

Problem IT07970 Status: Closed

RUNNING DB2IDROP OR DB2IUPDT TOOLS ON ONE INSTANCE MIGHT CAUSE DROPPING
PROFILE ON ANOTHER INSTANCE FROM THE SAME INSTALLATION

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
db2 instance tools like db2idrop or db2iupdt might call 
internally "db2iset -d <instance name>". 
In case there are more than one instance (db2inst1, db2inst2, 
...) which belongs to the same 
DB2COPY (UNIX installation path) then  running "db2iset -d 
<second instance>" will remove 
the instance profile of the first instance. 
 
Example: When we have a scenario with two instances created, 
e.g. db2inst1 is created first and 
db2inst2 is created afterwards. If we run "db2idrop db2inst2" to 
drop the second instance, 
we would call internally 
 
"db2iset -d db2inst2" 
 
this will accidentally remove the instance profile 
(sqllib/profile.env) of the first instance (db2inst1).
