The DB2 plug-in uses the db2 command to communicate with the database.

The following table lists the DB2 plug-in parameters, provides the parameter settings, and describes the parameters.

Parameter Setting Description

APP_NAME

db2

Provides the application name.

DB2_DATABASES

db_name:user_name

Lists the DB2 databases and the user name.Multiple databases and user names can be specified as a semicolon-separated list: for example, db1:user1;db2:user2.

DB2_CMD

path_to_db2cli_cmd

Specifies the path that is used to initialize the database connection so that further commands can be executed on the database.

  • UNIX-based environment:db2_install_directory/sqllib/bin/db2

    For example: /home/db2inst1/sqllib/bin/db2

  • Windows: db2_install_directory\SQLLIB\BIN\db2cmd.exe

    For example: C:\"Program Files"\IBM\SQLLIB\BIN\db2cmd.exe

If a path is not specified, then sqllib/db2 is used as the path.

Note: The DB2 plug-in handles Write Anywhere File Layout (WAFL) operations by default. If you want to back up a consistency group backup with the DB2 plug-in, you should set the parameter to NTAP_CONSISTENCY_GROUP_WAFL_SYNC parameter to N. If you set this parameter to Y, additional and redundant synchronizing operations are performed.
