Define Archive Manager databases

DB2 Manager uses the Archive Manager component of the Lifecycle Director of DB2 product for storage and retrieval of objects. Migrated rows are held in one or more Archive Manager databases, one Archive Manager database being used per DB2 table which has been enabled for migration processing (ie) there is a one-for-one correspondence between DB2 tables and Archive Manager databases in the DB2 Manager configuration. This one-for-one correspondence is enforced during row migration processing.

Each Archive Manager database must be defined prior to first migrating rows from a DB2 table to DB2 Manager.

Definition of an Archive Manager database is performed using the standard Archive Manager database administration dialogs under TSO/ISPF. Refer to the Archive Manager User Manual for a full description of the Archive Manager database definition procedure.

This section summarizes the procedure for the definition of an DB2 Manager migrated row database.
