>
> Hello, people.
>
> I'm trying to test backing up our databases using ADSM.  So far I've
> tried experimenting with DB2, and Sybase is also in the pipeline.
> However, I'm having problems even getting started, and would appreciate
> any help I can get.
>
> My environment is ADSM/NT 3.1, and the database is DB2 UDB 5.2/NT.
> There is nothing about backing up DB2 in the ASDM books, and precious
> little about backing up to ADSM in the DB2 books.  An API trusted agent
> file (dsmapicta) is mentioned, I can find no such thing on my system.
> Also, when I try running the DB2 backup, it complains about not finding
> ADSM32.DLL, which is also not on my system.
>
> Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

> Thanks,
