This is the environment. AIX 5.1 TSM Client and API 4.2.11 DB2 7.2 FixPack 4
ba client can do incrementals and archives just fine. Setup all the db2 variables, setup the dsm.sys and opt for the API - we have other DB2 servers on AIX 4.3.3, same TSM and DB2 versions working just fine. Send a backup of a small database from DB2 and get the following. db2 => backup db databasename online use tsm SQL1224N A database agent could not be started to service a request, or was terminated as a result of a database system shutdown or a force command. SQLSTATE=55032 This is a brand new system, so there could be some stupidity in the DB2 setup, missing OS patches, etc. In any event, TSM actually CRASHING db2 is a really scary problem Before I dig, I wanted to see if anybody else has seen this one. -JeffR
