Workspace Db2
Components Db2 on-premise

Created on Mar 18, 2026

Db2 should retransmit data to IBM Storage Protect, in case of tapedrive errors

Db2 should e.g. try to retransmit the failed part of I/O, when only a single stream of a multiple stream backup fails, rather than marking the complete backup as failed.(f.e with SQL2033N).

AHA idea is related to Db2 Case TS021697999.
