Solution-only features
Feature | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|
Backout to forward recovery strategy (BACKOUT AUTO) | Performs backout recovery using the log to restore objects to a prior point in time (without needing to restore image copies or rebuild or restore indexes), then automatically performs a forward recovery for any objects that could not be backed out This strategy ensures that all objects are recovered with maximum speed without intervention from the user. | |
Cabinet copy | Enables you to copy all the spaces in an object set into a single data set called a cabinet file Regardless of the number of objects that are copied to or recovered from the cabinet file, the cabinet file is allocated and deallocated only once, which can greatly improve performance. | |
Conditional restart avoidance for local full subsystem recovery | Shortens the time required to perform a recovery of an entire local subsystem by analyzing the system to determine whether a conditional restart can be avoided and then generating the fastest and most efficient recovery jobs possible | |
Disaster recovery data collection | Automatically collects and stores statistical data from all actual, simulated, and estimated disaster recoveries The data collected can enable you to compare different recoveries, determine if you are meeting your service level agreements, and even perform a number of what-if scenarios to assist you in reducing disaster recovery time or in justifying more resources. | |
Encrypted copies | Creates full and incremental encrypted copies to disk or tape | |
Inflight resolution technology and timestamp recovery | Enables you to perform a consistent recovery to any timestamp or LRSN/RBA The ability to resolve inflight units of work at any point in time or to any log point completely eliminates the need to perform quiesces to establish consistent recovery points during application execution. The ability to avoid quiesces can dramatically improve the availability of your Db2 data. | |
Migration files | Creates migration files in used with the MIGRATE or IMPORT commands to move data | |
Mirror management | Simplifies and automates disaster recovery processes when all or part of your Db2 subsystem is mirrored | |
Online consistent copies | Enables you to make consistent copies of table spaces and index spaces without any outage Using the Online Consistent Copy technology, the spaces being copied are continuously available for read and write access while the copy is being made. | |
Progress reports | Produces progress reports that use the object set or an object pattern to display backup and recover time estimates | |
Recovery estimation | Provides an estimate in hours, minutes, and seconds for the amount of time required to perform a complete disaster recovery, including both system and application resources | |
Recovery simulation | Simulates all aspects of a local or disaster recovery up to, but not including, any destructive operations on the data Simulation verifies that all recovery resources are valid and provides a close approximation of how long an actual recovery will take. | |
SHRLEVEL CHANGE TRANSFORM | Transforms the physical structure of a table space or index with a minimal outage | |
Online Index Rebuild | Allows read-write application access to Db2 table space and index space objects during the rebuild process. | SHRLEVEL option on the REBUILD INDEX command in the BMC AMI Recover for Db2 documentation. |
