DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

db2relocatedb tool can generate incorrect target container name
(CONT_PATH) and fail with "ERROR: Could not open file/device"
if:

1) The container is path has changed
2) The container is an absolute path, but has been defined under
the dbpath
3) The instance name is changing

The result is that the container name is overwritten by the
instance name. This can manifest itself in two ways:

1) If the container name length is longer than the instance name
length you'll end up with the instance name +the remainder of
the container name as the new container name. Ex: oldname =
"mylongcontname"; instance = "newinstance"; newcontname =
"newinstanceame"

2) If the container name length is less than the instance name
length the new container name will appear as a truncated
instance name. Ex oldname = "cont"; instance = "newinstance";
newcontname = "newi"
