Improve backup configuration

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Actually we need to define some environment variables like DSMI_DIR, DSMI_CONFIG to implement a TSM backup. So in case we forget to configure this at first moment we will need to do an instance restart. Would be better to consider some dynamic parameters at instance level to accomplish this as depend on environment variables. We already have some others TSM parameters at database level for other reasons.

    Hi. Yes I am aware of those TSM environment variables. But, what would you like us to do with these to make your backup process "easier". Maybe if you explained your process flow and where the pain point is I can better understand your request.

    Thanks.

    Hi

     

    In order to configure a DB2 backup using TSM, we need to configure some environment variables for the database instance user like DSMI_CONFIG that is used to define the opt file.

     

    You can find more information on https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.8/srv.install/t_srv_prep_dbmgr-aix.html

     

    Thanks and Best Regards

    Sorry, I am having a tough time trying to understand the request. Can you please clarify or provide more detail as to what the problem is and what your suggested request to solve that problem is? Thanks.
