# Cannot Determine the DB2 Fenced User Name

## Problem Description

The installer displays the following error message and prompt when you enter `C` to continue from the DB2 Database Connection and Account Details Menu:

    ERROR: Cannot determine the DB2 Fenced User name - check this is configured.
    If this is a remote DB2 installation, enter the remote Fenced
    User name (Return if none) :

The DB2 Database Connection and Account Details Menu is then re-displayed.

The installer has been unable to determine the name of the UNIX account that is used to run `fenced` stored procedures from the DB2 database, either because it cannot contact the database, or because the database is remote.

Note | `Fenced` stored procedures are run outside of the address space used by the DB2 database, to protect the database if a problem occurs in the stored procedure.

## Affected Database

DB2

## What To Do

To resolve this problem:

| 1. | Make sure that the DB2 database is running and that your computer has a network connection to it.

| 2. | Enter the name of the UNIX account that is used to run `fenced` stored procedures, or press ENTER to accept the default value.
