DBA's tend to refer to it by both, either db2 of udb. There really is no
TDP for DB2, you are just using the API for TSM. I haven't worked with the
NT client for a while but I would suggest checking the dsierror.log for
error messages. If the DBA's are running their backups by scripts, then
they should forward you the output you can see what errors get returned to
them. That provides the best information.
Try to log on to the db2 client through the command line. When you do a 'q
se', it may come up and ask for a password. If it does, that means the
dsmapipw is not working correctly. It does not work on the Solaris version.
I have experienced the dsmapipw either giving me a core dump or saying
password set correctly only to find that it fails when a backup is done.
If I set the password manually through command line, I have no problems.
Also, within DB2, if you do a 'db2adutl query' command, you can see whether
it will work or not. You will get the same response as you would if you ran
a backup.
The AIX version works successfully. The Solaris version has a few issues
with the password and links that I have had to work around but I can get it
to work. Due to not working with the NT version anymore, I am not sure of
the issues there.

Are you saying that a synonym for DB2 is UDB (Universal Database)? How does
a TSM Admin determine this? Or, should my DB2 admins offer more information?
Should Tivoli? IBM? Clinton?

You can actually find that within the DB2 documentation. I found enough in
the DB2 Universal Database Command Reference Version 7 (SC09-2951-00) to
begin to figure out how it works. You can get the pdf and text search it
for "adsm" and "tsm" for any references. In the version I have, not
everything says "tsm".
Good luck. Does anybody know of a handy dandy redbook on UDB backups using
TSM? How about DataLinks?

Subject: TDP for DB2 documentation
I have looked at the Tivoli web site and searched the ADSM listserv archive
but cannot seem to find any reference to the TDP for DB2 documentation.
Could someone, kindly, point me in the proper direction?
TIA
