/opt/dbtutools tree

The /opt/dbtutools tree is the elementary basis for the entire DbtuTools framework. It is the central location for all binaries, scripts, configuration-, log files, etc. (containing one subtree per DB2 instance name).

drwxrwsr-t     root:dbtuadm /opt/dbtutools/
      
drwxrwsr-x db2inst1:dbtuadm /opt/dbtutools/db2inst1/

Sample output of a fictitious ls -l (in a scenario with two DB2 instances - named db2inst1 and db2inst2)

The /opt/dbtutools directory acts as a root node housing the following files and subtrees:

The dbtuswitch.sh script [more] and its configuration file dbtuswitch.cfg [more].
The subtree for each DB2 instance making use of the DbtuTools framework.

Each subtree is based on the same hierarchic structure:

Directory	Content
`.../INSTANCE/tools/bin/`	This directory contains all binaries (binaries, scripts and JAR files).
`.../INSTANCE/tools/cfg/`	This directory contains all configuration files.
`.../INSTANCE/tools/doc/`	This directory contains the DbtuTools framework documentation.
`.../INSTANCE/tools/log/`	This directory contains all logfiles.
`.../INSTANCE/tools/temp/`	This directory contains all temporary files.
