Re: AIX - backup SAP DB2
If you insist upon writing your own root level script I think you need to source ~db2sid/.cshrc to get your environment setup. As an alternative what about using SAP transaction DB13 to set-up a planning calendar, and choose full backup with TSM as your backup method. If you have TSM client installed and operating it works out of the box. For a more definative description of backing up DB2 in a TSM environment I found the following IBM redbook invaluable: Backing Up DB2 UDB Using Tivoli Storage Manager http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/sg246247.html?Open Note: Someone else suggested using brbackup. Brbackup is the SAP on Oracle backup tool. It doesn't exist on SAP on DB2 (although brarchive does). The SAP/DB2 supported backup method IS DB13 which eventually calls db2 backup Good luck!
