HOW TO CHANGE ENCRYPTION KEY LABEL FOR A DB2 ACTIVE LOG DATASETS

  • 1.  HOW TO CHANGE ENCRYPTION KEY LABEL FOR A DB2 ACTIVE LOG DATASETS

    Posted Tue September 02, 2025 02:06 AM
    Hi All,
     
    Can anyone tell me what is the best way to change a pervasive encryption key label from DB2 active log datasets ? Currently Active logs datasets are defined with a key label and we need to change the key label with a different one . I see only option is to define new datasets and copy the contents . is there any other option without redefining the datasets ?
     
    Thanks

    Hi Amarendra,

    We are in that same boat and that's the solution we have currently implemented in our shop as we are currently migrating from V12 to V13. But, there is a nice feature in Db2 V13 we are looking forward to taking advantage of that allows you to add/remove logs while Db2 is still online. Below is an article about this as well as the IBM documentation explaining the syntax. So if you are on V13 this may be a great option for you.

    I hope this helps!

    Thanks,

    Danny
