Release Notes (version 8.1.2)

Data Links server backup fails using Tivoli Storage Manager archive server (AIX, Solaris Operating Environment)

Problem: During the installation of or migration to DB2 Data Links Manager Version 8.1, a Data Links File Manager (DLFM)-initiated backup of Data Links server data to a Tivoli(R) Storage Manager archive server fails. One of the following sets of error messages are shown, either on-screen or on the installation status report:

DLFM129I: Automatic backup of DLFM_DB database has been triggered. 
            Please wait for the backup to complete.
DLFM901E: A system error occurred. Return code = "-2062".
            The current command cannot be processed.
            Refer to the db2diag.log file for additional information.

-- or --

DLFM811E: The current DLFM database could not be backed up. 
            SQL code = "-2062", Return code = "-2062"
DLFM901E: A system error occurred. Return code = "-2062".
            The current command cannot be processed.
            Refer to the db2diag.log file for additional information.

Cause: The DB2 Data Links Manager Installer program failed to set the variables required to use Tivoli Storage Manager as an archive (backup) server for a Data Links server machine.

Tip: If you want to use Tivoli Storage Manager as an archive server, and you have not yet installed or migrated to DB2 Data Links Manager Version 8.1, you can prevent this problem from occurring. First, do not use the "Tivoli Storage Manager" backup option from the Installer program. Then, manually configure the Data Links Manager Administrator's profile to include the appropriate Tivoli Storage Manager variables, as described in step 2), below. After you have done both of these tasks, you can proceed with the installation or migration.

Workaround: Perform the following tasks in the order listed.

  1. Back up the DLFM database using this command: db2 backup <dlfm_db><path>.
  2. Manually configure the Data Links Manager Administrator's profile to include the appropriate Tivoli Storage Manager variables. The manual configuration procedure and the required variables are described in the following documentation topics:

    You can find these topics either online in the DB2 Information Center, or in the "System Management Options" chapter of the DB2 Data Links Manager Administration Guide and Reference.
