I've been investigating what options we have for fun tricks to play with our DB/2 backups to TSM. The major obstacle to many of our desires seems to be that the environment and options files are set at the time that the instance -starts-. Thus, (for instance) it's not possible to point your running instance at a new node definition, cut a backup which you would like to treat differently, and then put it back.
We think that the only options we have for doing this involve dropping stuff onto DASD, or restarting the instance several times. Does that sound right to those others of you who are doing DB/2? - Allen S. Rout
