I noticed that the Jupyter notebook for Python 3.6 environment keeps resetting itself. Is there a way to avoid that?

Let me explain - ibmdbpy package (V0.1.5) throws an error when connecting with Db2 because it is not compatible with jaydebeapi package (>1.0.0). So, I have to manually alter the environment to make it work. The issue is that the changes I make keep getting reset to the original every once in a while. How do I ensure that any new python package I install in the environment does not get removed?

Hi,

The Jupyters will stop after 18h of inactivity.
We could potentially modify it,  but that's not something we support.

Did you try using a custom environment ?

Thanks

Thanks, Tomasz. 

Will a custom environment not be reset? I do not know how to create a custom environment for CPD notebooks. Do you have a link that talks about how do it?

It would still be reset, but your changes should be kept:
