DB2 DPF iDataAgent Configurable Properties
Each DB2 DPF backup set is actually an existing DB2 database. After configuring the DB2 DPF pseudo-client, you must create at least one DB2 backup set; however, you can create the backup set only if a DB2 database exists in the instance. If there is a DB2 database in that instance, you can create a corresponding backup set with the same name as the database. If not, you cannot create a DB2 backup set. Once you create a DB2 backup set, a default subclient is automatically created.
Once you configure a DB2 DPF pseudo-client, you must configure a backup set for the agent.
You can view or change the backup set configuration from the Backup Set Properties dialog box. The following information can be configured.
The DB2 DPF iDataAgent uses this option to change the storage policy for all the log files in the backup set. See Associate a Subclient to a Storage Policy for step-by-step instructions.
You can change the Windows user account used by the system to access the DB2 database and in effect perform all data protection and recovery operations for the affected iDataAgent. In effect, you are connecting as a different user.
See the DB2 iDataAgents section in User Accounts and Passwords for more information.
