START

This command starts a demon that controls the locking of full-text indexes and the automatic updating of full-text indexes on the DB2 server.

Note

As the command does not activate any temporary cached table for indexes, individual ACTIVATE CACHE commands are necessary for searching with a stored procedure.

Authorization

You must run this command as a DB2 instance owner on a server, or any of the servers in a distributed DB2 environment.
