Re: DB2/6000 backup

Ike,

One way to make sure the correct dsm.sys file is being used is to run the
command "db2set DSMI_DIR" to dump out what is in memory on that particular
server. Keep in mind when these variables are set in the db2profile, these
take precedence over settings in the .profile. If you have on a set of
variables in .profile and another one in db2profile, db2profile settings
will rule. When you dump variables using db2set, these will show .profile
settings but when any command is run db2profile settings will be picked up.

Subject: DB2/6000 backup


I have a customer issuing the following command...

db2 backup database ngbuprd online use tsm open 4 sessions with 4
buffers buffer 2048 parallelism 12 without prompting;

Here's the environment...
                     Node Name: ROC08M80P011
                      Platform: DB2/6000
               Client OS Level: 4.3
                Client Version: Version 4, Release 1, Level 2.14
Session established with server ADSM: MVS
  Server Version 4, Release 2, Level 2.0


Problem:  The backup sessions are running in a different TSM server than the
one defined in dsm.sys
Does DB2 have variables somewhere that identify TSM for database backups?

I hope someone out there can help...
