Abstract
Db2 professionals spend a significant amount of time preparing for the worst-case scenarios. How many image copies do you take daily? How much space do these image copies occupy?
The primary reason for taking backups is to facilitate recovery. However, there are times when we face recovery situations and find that we cannot perform the recovery as outlined in our training or manuals.
This presentation will explore alternatives to typical Db2 recovery methods, with the top priority being the recovery of broken, invalid, or compromised Db2 objects. We will discuss various redirected recovery techniques and their applications.
Over the years, Db2 releases have enhanced recovery capabilities to address data availability and retention. This presentation will explain how these changes can impact recovery strategies.
Attendees will leave with new insights and methods for accessing and recovering Db2 data.
