Removing the SFDB repository file disables the SFDB tools.

To remove the SFDB repository

  1. Identify the SFDB repositories created on the host.
  2. Remove the directory identified by the location key.

    DB2 9.5 and 9.7:

    # rm -rf /db2data/db2inst1/NODE0000/SQL00001/.sfae

    DB2 10.1 and 10.5: 

    # rm -rf /db2data/db2inst1/NODE0000/SQL00001/MEMBER0000/.sfae
  3. Remove the repository location file.
    # rm -rf /var/vx/vxdba/rep_loc

    This completes the removal of the SFDB repository.
