APAR status
Closed as documentation error.
Error description
Tivoli Storage Manager documentation provides instruction on how to to trace the User ID/Password plug-in dsmdb2pw. This information can be found under the section Tivoli Storage Manager>Troubleshooting and support>Resolving Tivoli Storage Manager server problems>Resolving database errors>Tracing the dsmdb2pw plug-in. Here is the provided instruction for Windows: --------------------------------------------- If the DB2_VENDOR_INI db2set variable is set, find the file that it points to and add the following line: set DB2_DSMDB2PW_TRACEFILE=filename. If the DB2_VENDOR_INI db2set variable is not set, create a file, add set DB2_DSMDB2PW_TRACEFILE=filename to the file. Then, issue the following command: db2set -i instance DB2_VENDOR_INI=path to file just created. After you restart DB2, the trace file is stored in the dsmdb2pw.trc file in the directory pointed to by the DB2_VENDOR_INI db2set variable. ---------------------------------------------------------------- -------- This information is incorrect. 1. Cannot use the word ?set? when setting up the trace. To enable the trace, just add ?DB2_DSMDB2PW_TRACEFILE=filename? to the file specified by the DB2_VENDOR_INI variable. 2. Filename must be specified with an absolute path. For example, specify the file as C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server1\dsmdb2pw.trc 3. The trace does not have to be named dsmdb2pw.trc and does not have to be in the directory pointed to by the DB2_VINDOR_INI variable. Users can choose the name of their choice. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: Tivoli Storage Manager server version 6.x, 7.x Customer/L2 Diagnostics (If Applicable) None Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: TSM plugin

Problem conclusion
The Windows section of the Tracing the dsmdb2pw plugin topic in the trouble shooting guide Troubleshooting guide now reads as follows: Run the db2set command to see if the DB2_VENDOR_INI variable is set: db2 If the DB2_VENDOR_INI variable is not set, create a configuration file, for example c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server1\tsmdbmgr.env. Update the configuration file listed in the DB2_VENDOR_INI variable, for example c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server1\tsmdbmgr.env, with the location of the trace file: DB2_DSMDB2PW_TRACEFILE=C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server1\dsmdb2pw.trc Then, issue the following commands to set up the trace, halt the Tivoli Storage Manager server and restart the server: db2set -i instance DB2_VENDOR_INI=C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server1\tsmdbmgr.env halt dsmserv -k server_instance The trace information is stored in the dsmdb2pw.trc file in the C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server1\ directory. Tip: You can use the file name and directory of your choice for the name and location of the trace file. This problem is currently projected to be fixed in levels 6.3.6 and 7.1.4. Note that this is subject to change at the discretion of IBM. Affected platforms: Windows.
