DEFINE DBBACKUPTRIGGER
DEFINE DBBACKUPTRIGGER (Define the Database Backup Trigger)
Use this command to specify when TSM backs up the database. A backup occurs
when the specified percentage of the assigned capacity of the recovery log
is reached. TSM uses the database trigger only if the log mode is set to
ROLLFORWARD.
Note:
If the backup fails, TSM waits 60 seconds and then tries again. It
continues to retry the backup until it is successful.
Privilege Class
To perform this task, you must have one of the following privilege classes:
* System privilege
* Unrestricted storage

Subject: TSM db backup.
Hello all,
Let me start out by saying that I am a new subscriber to this list, so
sorry if these question have been posted before. I have recently set
up a TSM server. The server and client code is at 4.2.1. I have the
clients backing up to the server and files going only to disk storage
pool only for the time being, until I get my tape drives. The problem
I am having is with my database backups. I set up the dbbackuptrigger
to backup the database at 75%. Now my problem, whenever I set logmode
to rollforward, TSM automatically wants to do the first dbBackup which I
assume would be a full backup. After the process gets kicked off, the
20 gig tape just gets spit out. Even when I set the logmode to normal
and try a manual "backup db devclass=8mmdb type=full scratch=yes". When
I run the command the tape reads, rewinds, and ejects without the
backup. This is very frustrating and is probably something very
obvious, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone tell me what I may be
doing wrong?
