I am trying to switch from the logged in user account to db2inst1 user account using the following command:

su db2inst1

The command is executed without any warnings or errors, but instead of prompting with db2inst1@host:~$ I see the following prompt:

sh-4.4$

In the above configuration, no variables or settings are available which are otherwise available if I log in to Ubuntu directly with the db2inst1 user. Also, executing ls confirms I am still in the folder of the original user.
