DB2 License Issue

In DB2 , the SAP OEM license has to be applied after 90 days. If you don't apply then the database won't start. The procedure is different from Oracle as you need to log into the DB2 CLP to apply the license. Please find below the procedure:

1. Login as db2sol
2.Go to Start -> All Programs ->IBM DB2 -> SAPDB2SOL -> Command Line Tools -> Command Window
3. Now apply license here as per SAP Note 816773.Even with db2cmd we were not getting the actual license status.
Actually we raised OSS and logged it on SDN as well. For the same we also opened WTS connection. For more information, please refer the below SDN link:

Remote support SAPOSS - Connection Type WTS

There is more popular procedure known as R/3 support wherein the SAP support remotely connects to the customer throught SAPGUI but if the SAP server is down then WTS (Windows Terminal Server) connections needs to be opened.
How to :
SAP Note : 605795

Points to remember :
1. Please maintain the following line in the SAProuttab:
KP "p:CN=sapserv2, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE" (IP-Address) 3389
PLEASE NOTE!!!!The "*" is a wildcard for all ports within 3200 and 3299. All otherports must be specified with their own lines.
When you make changes to saprouttab please run "saprouter -n" toreload the new saprouttab. You may also restart the router.

2. The connection needs to be re-established again from scratch (the SAProuter should come to disconnect state), otherwise, you may get error like :
route permission denied sapserv2 to (IP address of machine), (Port Number) Location: SapRouter on hostname(of machine where saprouter is running)
The above error can also come if the host entry is not maintained in saprouttab file as given above.
