Change the media information if necessary

This control, and its associated fields, is only displayed if you select a backup image from the list of available images from the list box above it (that is, Select an entry from the list is selected). If you know that the information displayed in the Media Type column for that backup image is not correct, you can change this information by specifying the correct media of the backup image in the Media Type box. The choices are as follows:

Specify directories or tapes (for NT and UNIX--based systems; Specify directories for OS/2 systems)

If the media type for the backup image is either a directory or tape, correct the path or paths to the backup image in the List of directories box. (This information is read from the recovery history file for the selected database or database partition.)

You can specify more than one path to the backup image if the database or database partition was backed up to more than one location. In this situation, the backup image will be listed in multiple locations, and all the images will have the same time stamp. All portions of the backup image must be concurrently available for the restore operation to complete.

ADSM

If the media type for the backup image is ADSM, use the Sessions box to specify the number of ADSM sessions that you want. To reset the number of sessions to the default value (1), click on Default.

Vendor DLL

If the media type for the backup image is DLL, specify the DLL name in the DLL Name field, and use the Sessions box to specify the number of DLL sessions that you want. To reset the number of sessions to the default value (1), click on Default.

To display the list of DLL names, click on Browse.

User Exit (OS/2 systems only)

If the backup image is managed by a user exit, no other information is required.

Note:

You cannot use the Control Center to restore backup images that were taken previous to DB2 Version 5.2.
