DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / B10 - DB2

In Db2 11.1 Mod 3 Fix Pack 3 and in special build based on Db2 
11.1 Mod 3 Fix Pack 3 the db2support tool 
(a problem analysis and environment collection utility) 
in certain circumstances can erroneously remove critical 
database files, resulting in a database corruption or an 
instance-wide outage. 
 
This issue may affect customers running Db2 11.3 Mod 3 Fix Pack 
3 or special build based on Db2 11.1 Mod 3 Fix Pack 3 on all 
platforms 
 
This issue happens when the length of the output path specified 
for db2support is not sufficiently longer than the length of the 
instance name. 
 
To safely workaround this issue, specify a fully-qualified 
db2support output path when you run db2support: 
 
    db2support <output-path> 
 
with the length of output-path longer than instance-name + 9, 
where "instance-name" is the short instance name (e.g. 
"db2inst1").
