Adding information about DB2 servers to the media server’s authentication credentials list

You must add the DB2 server’s fully qualified domain name and the logon account name to the media server’s authentication credentials list. The media server has database access for operations on DB2 instances that are included in the authentication list. Before you run jobs, use the Remote Agent Utility to configure instance information and database access on the computer that has the DB2 instances.

The logon account name must have administrative rights to the DB2 server. If the user name is incorrect or is not provided, or if it does not have administrative rights, then you cannot perform DB2 backup or restore operations to that computer.

See Creating a template for DBA-initiated jobs.

To configure database access on the media server for DB2 operations

  1. On the media server, on the Tools menu, click Options.

  2. In the properties pane, under Job Defaults, click DB2.

  3. Click Modify list.

  4. Click New.

  5. Enter the fully qualified domain name of the DB2 server on which the instance is installed.

  6. To add the logon account name, do one of the following:


    Click the arrow

    Select the logon account name that you want to add.

    Click New

    On the Logon Account Selection dialog box, click New.

    See Creating a Backup Exec logon account.

    Use the same logon account format that you use when you enter the logon account name on the Database Access tab in the Remote Agent Utility. For example, if you entered Domainname\Username on the Remote Agent Utility, use that same format on the list of authentication credentials.

  7. On the Authentication Credentials for Oracle and DB2 Servers dialog box, click OK.
