Hi Jaques

Commtimeout of 60 is very short.  Try 600 to start with and go from
there.  You will see that if you have to do a big DB2 restore, the
session is started, the tapes are mounted and then DB2 formats its
tablespaces before restoring any data.  If this takes longer that the
commtimeout, the restore will fail immediately the format finishes,
and you'll have to do the whole thing again.

Hi,



I had the above error last night on a DB2 backup.



The error point to my "CommTimeOut" parameter which is currently
set to
60. Can anyone give me an indication as to what is a good value for
this
parameter?



q option



I'm running TSM 5.3 on AIX 5.3



Thanks
