DB2 supports the user exit and vendor methods for archiving its log files. Backup Exec provides a user exit program and a vendor dll file to support these methods. When the you use the user exit method, Backup Exec backs up the archive logs by using the user exit program named db2uext2.exe. When you use the vendor method, Backup Exec backs up the archive logs by using the Backup Exec vendor dll file named db2sqluv.dll.
Before you can use the user exit or vendor method, you must add information in the Remote Agent Utility about the DB2 instances that contain the following:
You must also add the fully qualified domain name of the DB2 server that contains these instances to the media server’s list of DB2 servers and authentication credentials.
If you use archive logging for DB2 databases, you must create a Backup Exec DBA-initiated job settings template that is used exclusively by archive logging jobs. This job template must specify destination storage devices that are different than the devices that are specified in the job template that is used for database backups. You must add the name of the DBA-initiated job settings template for archive logs in the Remote Agent Utility.
Some errors for DBA-initiated jobs that use the vendor dll file db2sqluv.dll are described in the following table:
