DB2 Recovery Expert is one of the most recent IBM Data Management Tools for Multiplatforms. It provides an easy-to-use environment that even less experienced DBAs can successfully use, to complete highly sophisticated and efficient recovery techniques in minimal time. Built-in SMART (Self-Managing and Resource Tuning) features provide intelligent analysis of altered, incorrect or missing database assets - including tables, indexes, or data - and automate the process of rebuilding those assets to a correct point in time, often without taking the database or business operations offline. This IBM Redbooks publication describes how to recover database objects safely, precisely, and quickly by using DB2 Recovery Expert for Multiplatforms, without having to resort to full disaster recovery processes. This book gives assistance for expert recovery, describes summary and detail reports from log analysis, and provides point-in-time recovery scenarios, via roll forward or back out, and also shows how to recover objects that were dropped by accident. |
