-f update_status

Edit online

This offload agent command updates the usability state of a specified snapshot backup.

The usability state of a specified snapshot backup can be updated to either offload a snapshot to IBM® Storage Protect (TSM_BACKUP=yes), or to not offload a snapshot (TSM_BACKUP=no). It is possible to offload a snapshot backup to IBM Storage Protect even though the TSM_BACKUP or TSM_BACKUP_FROM_SNAPSHOT profile parameter was deactivated during the snapshot backup operation. If there is no longer a need to offload the snapshot backup that was run with the parameter TSM_BACKUP or TSM_BACKUP_FROM_SNAPSHOT activated, the usability state can be reset.

To identify the backup whose state is to be modified, these parameters must also be specified using the -f update_status command:
-d database-name
-i instance-name
-B backup-id
