DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC68552 Status: Closed

Online backup (with include logs) to TSM may fail due to an inco rrect
estimation of space needed for the backup and log files

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
A backup to TSM shows incorrect size estimate. By default an 
online backup will include logs. The backup image and the logs 
are sent in two separate files to TSM. When the size estimate of 
the database is calculated it is incorrectly applied to the logs 
file as well. the result is a size estimation sent to TSM almost 
twice as big as the correct size. 
 
Example below: 
 
==> db2adutl query db Test|more 
Query for database Test 
Retrieving FULL DATABASE BACKUP information. 
    1 Time: 20100223010001  Oldest log: S0000098.LOG  DB 
Partition Number: 0    Sessions: 2

User data is ~90 GB and log file is 4MB. And yet both backup 
images are ~90GB in size.
