Hi, I have started testing backup of DB2 databases on one of our NT servers and as a result i have two small problems.
Firstly, i can run an ONLINE backup via the DB2 Control Center GUI ok and when i run a 'show version' via the TSM server, i can see the object as having being backed up. However, when i issue the backup command from the command line (DB2 BACKUP DATABASE dbname ONLINE USE TSM) the backup appears to 'hang'. From the TSM server i can see the session in RECVW state, but it never changes the number of bytes sent and i end up cancelling the session. As i say, this works fine from the control center. Secondly, with normal TSM backups, SQL and Lotus Domino backups, i always see some stats on the TSM server showing total bytes transferred, backup duration etc. This information is also sent back to the client in the dsmsched.log. But these DB2 backups don't show any stats on the TSM server or the DB2 client. In the DB2 control center, i can see that the backup worked successfully via the JOURNALS tab. But only that it worked, not much to say exactly what was backed up. We normally run scripts against the TSM server actlog looking for messages indicating failed backups, but the lack of DB2 info does'nt help me here. I want to avoid someone having to do a manual check via the DB2 control center that the backup worked.
