Hi,

Our DB2 administrator needs to apply Windows 2003 SP2 to three of our DB2
servers.
(One Data Manager  and two Document Manager)

 He reckons after the upgrade, chances of ending up with a broken system
are high,
and complete restores may be needed.

 My first thoughts are that I should do a selective backup before each
upgrade, which would
also backup the DB2 databases(offline) in one swoop... is it possible ?
How do you take the databases off-line ?   I haven't got a clue !

Is there a better way of preparing for this SP2 upgrade ?

TSM Server W23K   5.2.2.0

Client Servers WK23K  Backup\Archive client 5.2.0.0

Thanks-in-advance

Bill
