db2cmd /c /w /i db2 -v CONNECT TO sample
db2cmd /c /w /i db2 -v prune history %delmax% and delete
db2cmd /c /w /i db2 -v CONNECT RESET
db2cmd /c /w /i db2 -v TERMINATE

Apparently, each db2cmd command opens a new DB2 Command Window, run the db2 command in it and then closes it. This way, the second (running PRUNE HISTORY) does no longer find a connection to “sample” database, since CONNECT ran in a different DB2 Command Window.

Tried with just the /i option, but even this didn’t work. I tested different option combinations, but none left the connection to DB2 opened for the second execution. Finally, I desisted to code this way, as there were two alternatives:

1 – Run db2cmd once, using a file. The script follows this when it executes the file sample_backup.db2

2 – Open a DB2 Command Window and run the CMD script there. This CMD should not use db2cmd, just db2.
For instance, the command below opens a DB2 Command Window and executes the myscript.cmd inside it.
db2cmd /c /w /i myscript.cmd

Inside myscript, the above CLP commands must be written this way (no db2cmd, just db2):
db2 -v CONNECT TO sample
db2 -v prune history %delmax% and delete
db2 -v CONNECT RESET
db2 -v TERMINATE

Best regards,
