In this case notice the "WITH FORCE OPTION" parameter, and what is said about that option in the "Usage Notes" section: <q> If the WITH FORCE OPTION is used, you might delete entries that are required for automatic restoration of databases. Manual restores will still work correctly. Use of this command can also prevent the db2ckrst utility from being able to correctly analyze the complete chain of required backup images. Using the PRUNE HISTORY command without the WITH FORCE OPTION prevents required entries from being deleted. </q> Cheers! -- Jeroen |
