DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Configuring DB2 Advanced Copy Services (ACS)

Before you can use DB2® Advanced Copy Services (ACS) to perform a snapshot backup, you must configure DB2 ACS. You use configuration files to configure DB2 ACS.

Before you begin

You must perform the following tasks before you can configure DB2 ACS:

  1. Install DB2 ACS.
  2. Create the database manager instance or instances with which you will use DB2 ACS..
  3. Activate DB2 ACS.

Procedure

Run the setup_db2.sh script from the sqllib/acs directory without any parameters. This will lead you through an interactive, text-based wizard that will configure DB2 ACS. The wizard creates a configuration profile file and modifies the /etc/initab on the machine to trigger the launch of the DB2 ACS daemons.
