After skripting jdbc and j2ee on WebSphere i was interested to fasten
the DB2 configuration after a Connections installation.
There are two ways to get valid source xml-Files for automatic
maintenance in DB2. I use automatic maintenance, because i can set a
maximum backup time and how many dumps of one database should be stored.
DB2 deletes old backups (which i have in a filebackup each night)
automatically.
You can’t script this settings directly,
IBM
provides
two system calls for this: sysproc.automaint_set_policyfile
and sysproc.automaint_set_policy
.
I use the file variant here, because i think it easier to handle files
than blob content.
