cannot manage dbases? 1

[leploep]

Hello guyz,

I've "inherited" a DB2-server running with dbases that are being used daily so the db2 server is running fine.

However, I need to make a backup schedule but whatever i do I get this same message all the time.
"SQL1032N No start database manager command was issued SQLSTATE=57019"
even when i only select (highlight) a dbase i get this message.

Its a production server and has mision critical stuff on it, so i definatley need to do a backup of the dbases. But whatever i do, i get that stupid message.

anyone any idea?

Perhaps this may shed some light:

Did you ever reboot the server?

Thanx for your suggestions.

I've found a way to "manage" the dbases". I was trying all the above in the control center on the server itself. Whatever i did, it gave me that "cannot start" message.

But now I've installed a client on my workstation and was able to make an offline- back up schedule using the wizard.
(its scheduled for tonight so help me cross fingers)

I'm not even going to try to make online backups. (archival logging etc. too much hassle for me, me thinks)
