System programmer response

Issue the DFSMShsm LIST COPYPOOL command with the ALLVOLS option for the Db2 database copy pool. Run the DSNJU004 (print log map) utility to print the system-level backup information. For a data sharing environment, gather the system-level backup information from all members. Locate the system-level backup information in the DSNJU004 output and compare it with the output from the LIST COPYPOOL command.

If the system-level backup was dumped to tape, you can use either of the following options to direct the utility to use the copy of the system-level backup on tape:

  • Specify the FROMDUMP option in the RESTORE SYSTEM utility control statement.
  • Set the RESTORE_ RECOVER_FROMDUMP subsystem parameter to YES
