[Db2] How to identify the table spaces in a backup image.

How To


Summary

Users can use db2ckbkp to list the table space names included in a backup file.

Steps

db2ckbkp -a returns all the table space name in the database. The table space included in the backup image has "tbspInImage" value "T" while "F" for the table spaces not included in the backup.
(AIX)
db2ckbkp -a backup_file | grep -p "tbspInImage: T"
(Linux)
db2ckbkp -a backup_file | grep -B 1 "tbspInImage: T"
The output might include Temporary table spaces, which can be ignored.
The transaction log necessary for the online backup can be verified by checking the "Head Extent ID" and "Backup End Marker" value.
