db2 table space restore

[pinoy2ser]

hello All,

im not a db2 person, please forgive me for asking a simple
question..
i would like to restore a tablespace from a current database to a new
database in the same server how do i accomplish this task. I use tsm
to backup my db...

i was looking around web and found instruction to the restore command
in db2...
this is what i came up with..

i need to first create the target (empty) database correct? then
execute the command below?

RESTORE DBPRODA emidinst1 password1 TABLESPACE PROD02 USE TSM TAKEN AT
091808 INTO DBTESTB

thank you in advance..

Hi pinoy,

first of all: what you want to do works with version 9 (and above). If
you have a lower version, a simple tablespace restore into a(nother)
DB than the original one will fail.

You'll have to restore the tablespace you want together with the
catalog tablespace.
Please consider a redirected restore (container to another location)
when restoring on the same system.

If it is an offline backup no further logfiles are needed, if online
you'll need a rollforward and some (?) logfiles for this.

In that case you may have to use db2move (resp. export/load) to move
your data. Did you consider that?

[Diego de la Vega]

This is an example

db2 -td;

RESTORE DATABASE SAMPLE FROM "C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\BIN" TAKEN AT
20070622115322 TO "C:" INTO newdatabasename
NEWLOGPAH "c:\dirlog" WITH 2 BUFFERS BUFFER 1024 REDIRECT PARALLELISM 1
WITHOUT PROMPTING;

after that command you should enter the locations of each tablespace.
One set for each tablespace:

SET TABLESPACE CONTAINERS FOR 0 IGNORE ROLLFORWARD CONTAINER OPERATIONS
USING (PATH "C:\dir1");
SET TABLESPACE CONTAINERS FOR 1 IGNORE ROLLFORWARD CONTAINER OPERATIONS
USING (PATH "c:\dir2");
SET TABLESPACE CONTAINERS FOR 2 IGNORE ROLLFORWARD CONTAINER OPERATIONS
USING (PATH "c:\dir3");
SET TABLESPACE CONTAINERS FOR 3 IGNORE ROLLFORWARD CONTAINER OPERATIONS
USING (PATH "C:\dir4");

when you finish with above commands

RESTORE DATABASE SAMPLE CONTINUE;

here starts the restore

or restore database sample abort;
to stop and start over
