Health Monitor - Manual Backup required...why?

[mycita]

Hello,

The Database server = DB2/NT Workgroup Edition 8.2.8

Recently we configured the db to do online backups. After the initial full offline backup full online backups have been scheduled and they are successful.
But we keep getting the following health monitor message:

"Attention" alert for "db.db_backup_r eq" for "database" "DB2.AWSSV5 "

ADM10502W Health indicator "Database Backup Required" ("db.db_backup_ req") is in state "Manual backup required" on "database" "DB2.AWSSV5 ".

Why is a manual backup required?

Do offline backups have to be done periodically even if we are do full online backups?

Anyone have ideas?! Please!!

The explanation for ADM10502W is as follows. Try recommendations and descriptions as suggested in the commands below.

(GET RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HEALTH INDICATOR Health-Indicator-Short-Name
GET DESCRIPTION FOR HEALTH INDICATOR Health-Indicator-Short-Name
)

ADM10502WHealth indicator Health-Indicator-Short-Description (Health-Indicator-Short-Name) is in state Health-Indicator-Value on Monitored-Object-Type Monitored-Object-Name.

Explanation
The health monitor generated an alert because the state value of this health indicator was non-normal. This condition does not necessarily require immediate attention, but rather it will depend on the expected state of the database given operations being performed on it at the time, and the prevailing workload.

User response
You can use one of the following tools to obtain recommendations , and in some cases take actions, to resolve this alert.

If the Control Center tools are installed, you can launch this tool in one of the following ways:
