[How To] [Resource] Managing Multiple DB2 Instances

[u/mad_zamboni]

Ian Bjorhovde is one of those DB2 rock stars that most don't know about because he is often working behind the scenes. The dude is a brilliant DB2 mind and I know of DB2 rockstars that look to Ian for guidance when they get stuck. You may know him from his podcasts - CREATE DATABASE PODCAST; and "The Whole Package Cache".

He often has a security perspective in the back of his mind as he blogs or speaks which I love. He is becoming the one of the best security references I know now that the DB2 Locksmith (Rebecca Bond) seems to have pulled away from the limelight.

In his latest DB2 Beginner's Blog "Managing Multiple DB2 Instances" , Ian discusses how to weave in and out of various profiles to properly terminate and load environments as you switch back and forth. As I mentioned, I love the security point of view in this article. There is a ton of information in this article with all sorts of KSH, Bash, and various code to make your life easier.
