2 aliases that mapping to the same tools catalog database!

[Laurence]

Hi folks,

I installed DB2 V9.1 FP2 on RHEL AS V4 (DB2 Server) and Win XP SP2
(DB2 Client).

The strange thing, there were two database aliases TOOLS0 & TOOLS1 in
the DB2 Client that were mapping to the same remote tools catalog
database TOOLSDB in the DB2 Server after I created a new tools catalog
database by Control Center.

Is it normal? Should I drop one of them in DB2 Client?

Actually, the first alias TOOLS0 appeared in DB2 Client as I used the
wizard to finished and saved the backup task. The second alias TOOLS1
appeared in the same DB2 Client as I used the wizard to finished and
saved the restore task.

I used DB2 Client to connect RHEL AS 4 and AIX V5R3, both two were the
same situation.

Why does DB2 Client catalog 2 alias while using GUI wizard to
scheduling the backup and restore tasks?
Any comment?

I did "CREATE TOOLS CATALOG dbtools CREATE NEW DB toolsdb" in DB2
Client by db2cc, but did not "CATALOG DB toolsdb..." in DB2 Client.
So, when the tasks perform from DB2 Client by db2tc, DB2 Client will
auto-catalog database toolsdb as TOOLS0, TOOLS1...

Now, the problem is solved as I catalog toolsdb first then perform the
tasks in DB2 Client by db2tc.
