About adding new DB2 instances

Adding new DB2 instances on a Windows system is different than adding new instances on a UNIX system.

  • On Windows, the NetBackup for DB2 installation software writes the user exit program to the following location:

    install_path\NetBackup\dbext\DB2\db2uext2.exe

    DB2 expects the db2uext2 executable to reside in the DB2 installation location.

    If you reinstall or move the DB2 installation, manually copy db2uext2.exe from the NetBackup location into the DB2 location.

  • On UNIX, if you install a new DB2 instance after you install NetBackup, you need to add this new instance to the NetBackup configuration. This action ensures that all new DB2 instances are included in backup operations.

    See Specifying the DB2 home path (UNIX).
