Are you working with Netbios ? I had a problem with DB2/2 on a OS/2
machine, where after the backup the DB2/2 server stopped responding.
Since I installed a second Token Ring Card and using the first one for the
backup and the second one for DB2/2 it works.

Looked like after the backup ADSM was closing the adapter.

The problem with the password I solved with PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE and
putting the passwordfile from the ADSM Client directory to the API
directory.
Or you can first try to disable password authentification for your ADSM
Server

Good luck

Thema: ADSM-API & DB/2 for NT




Hi everyone !

We*%ve got a nice problem with ADSM and DB/2. Obviously nobody of IBM
Germany
can tell me the solution so
I`m trying to find it here.

Our environment:
DB/2 is running on a Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 2) Server. The API-files
(adsm32.dll and dscameng.txt)
are the newest ones from June 97.

Our problem:
We*%re trying to backup databases over the API of ADSM. DB/2 has a built-in
feature for that but unfortunately we
never got it running. When calling the dsmapipw.exe (delivered with DB/2,
used
for initializing the password in
registry and ADSM-server) it will cause an access violation exception
error.
Trying to backup a database out of
DB/2 (with the command: backup database dbname use adsm) freezes the
command
line and you can wait till
world*%s last day.

Has anybody ever occured this problem or does anybody have good ideas how
to
successfully integrate DB/2
for NT with ADSM ?
