    Memory hogging after restore with a warning

    Hi all,

    I am trying to move a database from one machine to another.
    I backed up in offline mode, then I do a restore (without
    rolling forward), which
    finishes successfully but with warning 2529 (what's that?)

    After that db2syscs hogs pretty much all available memory
    on the machine whenever I attempt to connect to the database,
    with no end in sight.

    I am using DB2 8.1 on Win2K.

    Thanks.

    Re: Memory hogging after restore with a warning

    If you move to Fixpak 2, there is a DB2 enhancement called "throttle
    utilities" - you can read about it by searching on "throttle" here:


    This will keep backup from using all of the resources.

    You cna read about SQL2529 here:

    C:\tmp>db2 ? sql2529 |more


    SQL2529W Warning! Restoring to an existing database that is
    different from the backup image database, and the alias
    name "<dbase>" of the existing database does not match
    the alias name "<dbase>" of the backup image, and the
    database name "<dbname>" of the existing database does
    not match the database name "<dbname>" of the backup
    image. The target database will be overwritten by the
    backup version. The Roll-forward recovery logs
    associated with the target database will be deleted.

    Explanation:

    The database aliases of the target and database image are not the
    same, the database names are not the same, and the database seeds
    are not the same, indicating these are different databases. The
    current database will be overwritten by the backup version. The
    Roll-forward recovery logs associated with the target database
    will be deleted. The current configuration file will be
    overwritten with the backup version.

    User Response:

    Return to the utility with the callerac parameter indicating
    processing to continue or end.
