APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Following an upgrade to 7.1.8 or 8.1.2 or higher, database backup does not automatically back up the server master encryption key even though the default for the PROTECTKEYS parameter on the SET DBRECOVERY and BACKUP DB commands changed to YES in these levels.
Local fix
Issue the SET DBRECOVERY command with the PROTECTKEYS= and PASSWORD= parameters to explicitly specify the default to be used by the BACKUP DB command.

Problem conclusion
This problem was fixed. The server will issue new message ANR2304E on startup and at hourly intervals if the PROTECTKEYS parameter has never been configured. Database backups will fail with message ANR1748E The PASSWORD parameter is required when PROTECTKEYS is enabled. until both PROTECTKEYS=YES and PASSWORD= are configured using the SET DBRECOVERY command, or until PROTECTKEYS=NO is configured. ANR2304E Database backup configuration is not complete. Neither the PROTECTKEYS parameter nor the PASSWORD parameter in SET DBRECOVERY has been set. Explanation: The master encryption key that is used to protect storage pool data, administrator passwords, and node passwords should be protected during database backups. The PROTECTKEYS parameter, as set by the SET DBRECOVERY command, has not been set. The default is PROTECTKEYS=YES, but database backups cannot proceed unless both PROTECTKEYS=YES and PASSWORD= are specified. System Action: Server operations continue. User Response: Issue the SET DBRECOVERY command, specifying the PROTECTKEYS=YES and PASSWORD= parameters to enable encryption key protection for database backups. Affected platforms for reported release: AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, and Windows. Platforms fixed: AIX, Linux, and Windows.
