Anyone know if you can restart a DB2 backup from the last transaction point before the failure? I know Oracle can, I would think DB2 could. If so how. Searching Google I haven't found the needed information. On a side not our DB2 server experienced the following error.


04/13/12 08:24:33 ANR0530W Transaction failed for session 224718 for node
PRDODM1A_DB2 (DB2/AIX64) - internal server error
detected. (SESSION: 224718)


It's a LAN-Free client so I did see some notes on issues with LAN-Free to disk but this does to VTL.

Chad,

It has been a while since I worked with DB2 backing up to TSM.

I believe you just run another backup and the API will pickup from where it left. Just don't take this as something etched in stone.
