Configuring default settings

The plug-in lets you set default options for backup and restore jobs. You can override these options on a per-job basis.

1
In the Navigation Pane, click Create Backup Job, and click Create New next to the Selections list.
2
In the selection tree, open the applicable client node.
3
Click Plug‑in for DB2, and select Configure from the context menu.
4
Enter the DB2 Installation Directory parameter.
If DB2 is installed in its default directory, the plug-in automatically completes this field with the corresponding path. If the software is installed in a different location, enter the correct path.
5
To save the settings, click OK.

Configuring a default login account

Plug‑in for DB2 lets you configure a default login account, which is used to connect automatically to the database instance. Configuring a default login account eliminates the need to enter the authentication details each time a connection to the instance is required. The plug-in stores the user name and the encrypted password in the configuration file. When you configure a default account, any change in the user account or password does not affect the existing job definitions.

To configure a default login account for a DB2 instance, perform the following steps.

1
In the Navigation pane of the NetVault Backup WebUI on the NetVault Backup Server, click Create Backup Job.
2
Next to the Selections list, click Create New.
3
In the selection tree, open the NetVault Backup Client on which the plug-in is installed.
4
In the list of plug-ins, open Plug‑in for DB2 to display the added DB2 instances.
5
Click the applicable instance, and select Set Default Login from the context menu.
6
In the DB2 Default Login dialog box, configure the following details:
•
Default Account Name: Enter the account name for the DB2 Instance Administrator.
•
Default Password: Enter the password for the configured user account.
•
Use Default Login: To connect automatically to the database without waiting for user input, select this check box.
7
To save the settings, click OK.
