DB2 new log file management and networker

[Former Member]

Hi!

We have just installed our first DB2 ver 9 system, and are forced to use "New log file management"

I have managed to switch on the logging with

(LOGARCHMETH1) = DISK:/db2/NSM/log_archive/

now im trying to get db2tapemgr to save the archived logs to networker, but i can't figure out what parameters to use.

Does anyone have some hints to get me further with this?

Hi,

The db2tapemgr can only be used to store and retrieve log files to directly attached tapes.

The documentation of the db2tapemgr you can find in the DB2 documentation:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/r0...

and in the "New log file management" SAP guide.

I assume that you mean Legato Networker, if you talk about networker, right ?

If I remeber right, Legato provides now an implementation of the DB2 backup/log file mangement vendor API. With the library provided by Legato you have to set LOGARCHMETH1 to VENDOR:<legato library>.

If this library is still not available, you can use the user exit db2uext2 executable that Legato provides for archiving log files to Legato. To use the user exit programm you need to set LOGARCHMETH1 to USEREXIT.
