Characteristics of the $$_TSMDBMGR_$$ user ID

Edit online

The IBM Storage Protect server generates the $$_TSMDBMGR_$$ user ID at startup.

You can view the $$_TSMDBMGR_$$ user ID in the results of a QUERY SESSION command. This ID is also present in the activity log file and other server log files.

The server uses the $$_TSMDBMGR_$$ user ID to back up the server database. By using the $$_TSMDBMGR_$$ user ID, you can make the database accessible for processing if the server is unavailable. Changing this ID jeopardizes the ability to recover or restore a server if a disaster occurs.

Restriction: You cannot change the dsm.sys or dsm.opt file to set up or use a different client node name. The local IBM Storage Protect server database uses the dsm.sys or dsm.opt file to back up its own database.
