Re: ADSM - Assessing the ADSM DB

Hi Mark,
You don't have to use IDCAMS utilities to ensure that you have a backup of
the database. You can just use the ADSM backup db command to copy all
the records either to a tape or to a device class of file while the server
Started task is up and running. The mirror of your database is something
you don't have to worry about - let the ADSM code take care of having the
database mirror in sync - it only uses this databases mirror for contineous
availability - like in the case where you have a drive die which happens to
contain the Primary database - you will not have to restore your database
but carry on running.
Hope this has answered your question.
