The ADSM DUMPDB and LOADDB are part of a salvage utility that was a stop gap
solution for
ADSM version 1 until the database backup and recovery functions could be added
in
ADSM version 2.  Unless you are on ADSM version 1 (which is unsupported except
for the VSE server), you should be using BACKUP DB and  DSMSERV RESTORE DB
functions to backup/recover your database (and also for migrating ADSM server
to a different hardware server of the same operating system type).

The circumstances under which you might use DUMPDB and LOADDB today are
very rare and probably would involve the absence of regular ADSM database
backups
(regular database backups using BACKUP DB are obviously recommended) and
are probably recommended only under the direction  of IBM ADSM service support.

To summarize...use of DUMPDB/LOADDB is not recommended.  The ADSM
database should be protected using BACKUP DB functions....greg tevis
