Editing a DB2 server name or logon account on the media server's list of authentication credentials

If the DB2 server name or the logon account name for the DB2 server changes, you must update the media server's list of DB2 servers and authentication credentials. Make the same changes on the DB2 server by using the Remote Agent Utility to configure instance information and database access.

The logon account name must have administrative rights to the DB2 server. If the user name is incorrect or is not provided, or if it does not have administrative rights, then you cannot perform DB2 backup or restore operations to that computer.

To edit a DB2 server name or a logon account on the media server's list of authentication credentials

  1. On the media server, on the Tools menu, click Options.

  2. On the properties pane, under Job Defaults, click DB2.

  3. Click the Modify list button.

    On the Authentication Credentials for Oracle and DB2 Servers dialog box, you can add, edit or delete a server name and a logon account.

  4. Select the item that contains the server name or logon account that you want to edit.

  5. Click Edit.

  6. Change the server name, or change the logon account name.

    See Editing a Backup Exec logon account.

  7. Click OK.
