To view the port number used by the DB2 database instance, you can follow these steps:

  1. By using the command line, it is possible to connect to a DB2 database instance and view its port number. For instance, you can connect to a DB2 database instance using the following command:
db2 connect to <database_name>

You can then use the following command to check the port number of the database instance:

db2 get dbm cfg

In the returned results, you can find the “TCP/IP Service name” and “TCP/IP port number,” which respectively represent the service name and port number used by the DB2 database instance.

  1. By using the Control Center: If you are using IBM Data Studio or other DB2 management tools, you can view the port number of the database instance in the Control Center. Typically, after connecting to the database instance, you can find the port number information used by the database instance in the connection properties or configurations.

No matter which method you use, checking the port number of a DB2 database instance is relatively simple and quick.
