Hi there,
I have build a J2EE web application that uses DB2 UDB for Windows
(2000) to store it's data.
This application had been up-and-running for over 2 years but needed
to be relocated on another machine.
So, after making a back-up of the C:\DB2 directory (which we thought
would contain all our precious data!) the disk was thoroughly cleaned
and the server was given to someone else.
The problem we are facing now is that I cannot access that data
anymore ?!
I have DB2 UDB (7.2) on my laptop and just renamed the existing DB2
directory and replaced it with the saved one.
The control center recognizes that the database exists (because when I
try accessing a non-existing database name I get another error) but
when I want to access the data the error is: SQL1036C An I/O error
occurred while accessing the database. SQLSTATE=58030
Here are my questions:
-I think this could be a version problem, how can I retrieve the
version from the database if I cannot connect to it? I hope it stores
this info.
-Are there any tools that can help me recover the data, it is really
very, very important to get it back!
The version I use on my laptop is: DB2 Universal database, Enterprise
Edition Version 7.2 fixpack 12.
The version of DB2 as it existed previously on the server is not
exactly known but not very much older or newer than this one. (7.x
probably)
Please help!
