Statement
IBM Db2 12.1 (Db2 Operator V2): without a mounted production licence the operator annotates Db2 OLTP instances as Community Edition (metric FREE) and Db2 Warehouse as Trial; when a production licence key is mounted the client must add all four annotations (productID, productName, productMetric, productChargedContainers) matching the purchased edition, because IBM License Service reports usage from them.
Applies when
Deploying licensed Db2 editions on OpenShift or Kubernetes.
Applies to
