the networker config file

the networker config file

1. for backups
1. all you need from the db2 command line is the backup server and backup client ( if you schedule your backup from the networker server or want to use nsrdb2sv /nsrdasv, you need more parameters)
1. NSR_SERVER=backupservername
2. NSR_CLIENT=nameoftheclientdefined in networker
3. it's better to have a different log and data volume to avoid tape mount conflict that blcok the backup from completion 
2. if you forget an '@' sign you will get error sql2062n reason code 3
2. for log archiving
1. don't forget @ in front of the config file when configuring logarchopt1
2. if you change the config file, the new values are not taken up immediately,it's better to restart the db2vend processes (i.e. kill them )
