Domdsmc DB2INActivateobjs

Purpose

The domdsmc db2inactivateobjs parameter displays the db2adutl utility commands that are required to inactivate IBM Storage Protect objects that have been created by the DB2® API and are no longer referenced by any Data Protection for IBM® Domino® IBM Storage Protect objects. The db2adutl utility is part of the DB2 IBM Storage Protect Agent and is used to manage IBM Storage Protect objects. The db2adutl commands (displayed by the domdsmc db2inactivateobjs command) must be issued from a DB2 command window and should be issued regularly after DB2 Group or full DB2 backups.

When Data Protection for HCL Domino backs up a DB2 Group or a DB2 database, the backup objects are created by the DB2 API. These objects have a unique name and must be inactivated when they are no longer referenced by IBM Storage Protect objects that are expired as a result of management policies. This command also inactivates table spaces, full DB2 database backups, and archived logs. This command must be run regularly after DB2 Group or full DB2 backups.

Parameters

/ADSMNODe=nodename

Specifies the IBM Storage Protect node name Data Protection for HCL Domino uses to log on to the IBM Storage Protect server. The command-line value overrides the value in the IBM Storage Protect options file.

/ADSMOPTFile=optionsfile

Specifies the IBM Storage Protect options file name. The file name can include a fully qualified path name. If you do not specify a path, the installation directory and then the current directory are searched for the specified file. The default is dsm.opt.

/ADSMPWD=password

Specifies the IBM Storage Protect password Data Protection for HCL Domino uses to logon to the IBM Storage Protect server. If you specify passwordaccessgenerate in the IBM Storage Protect options file, then the password is not required. In this case, Data Protection for HCL Domino uses the password that is stored by the IBM Storage Protect API.

If passwordaccess is set to generate and you specify a password, the value is ignored unless a password for this node is not stored. In this case, the specified password is stored and used for the current command execution.

If passwordaccess is set to prompt and you specify a password on the command line, you are not prompted for a password. The command-line value overrides the prompt.

If passwordaccess is set to prompt and you do not specify a password on the command line, then you are prompted for a password.

/CONFIGfile=cfgfilename

Specifies the name of the Data Protection for HCL Domino preferences file. The file name can include a fully qualified path. If you do not specify a path, it is assumed the preferences file in the directory where Data Protection for IBM Domino is installed.

The default preferences file is domdsm.cfg.

/LOGFile=logfilename

Specifies the name of the activity log that is generated by Data Protection for HCL Domino. The log file name is used for the current command and does not update the default log file that is stored in the preferences file. You can use the set command to change the default log file name that is stored in the preferences file. The command-line parameter can be used to override the default for one command run. If the specified file does not exist, it is created. If it does exist, new log entries are appended to the file. The file name can include a fully qualified path. If you do not specify a path, the file is written to the directory where Data Protection for HCL Domino is installed.

The default log file is domdsm.log.

When you are using multiple simultaneous instances of Data Protection for IBM Domino to run operations, use the /logfile parameter to specify a different log file for each instance. Using this parameter directs logging for each instance to a different log file and prevents interspersed log file records. Failure to specify a different log file for each instance can result in unreadable log files.

/LOGPRUne=60|n|No

Specifies whether to prune log entries. By default, log pruning is enabled and done daily. You can use the set command to do one of the following actions:

• Change the defaults so that log pruning is disabled
• Change the number of days log entries are saved

You can use the /logprune option to override these defaults for one command run. Note, when the value of /logprune is a number, the prune is done even if one is complete for the day.

You can specify:

60

Specifies that log entries are saved for 60 days before pruning.

n

Specifies the number of days to save log entries. The range of values is 0 - 9999. A value of 0 deletes all entries in the log except for the current command run entries.

No

Do not prune the log.

Changes to the value of the timeformat or dateformat parameter can result in an undesired pruning of the log file. If you are running a command that prunes the log file and the value of the timeformat or dateformat parameter changes, run one of the following to prevent pruning of the log file:

• Make a copy of the existing log file.
• Specify a new log file with the /logfile parameter or logfile setting.

/Quiet

Specifies that status information does not display. However, the information is written to the activity log.

/SERVer=currentserver|servername

Specifies the Domino server name. If not specified, Data Protection for HCL Domino uses the current Domino server.
