Symptoms

NetWorker backups of DB2 databases can fail with the following errors:

 

C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\bin>db2 update db cfg for DBNAME using logarchmeth1 VENDOR:"C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\bin\libnsrdb2.dll" logarchopt1 "C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\apps\config\nmda_db2_tlogs.cfg"


SQL0104N An unexpected token "Files\EMC" was found following "<identifier>"
Expected tokens may include:  "ACT_SORTMEM_LIMIT"  SQLSTATE=42601

Cause

This failure is the result of a mistake in the syntax of the backup command.

Resolution

The backup command must use the Windows Short Path convention.  For example:

 

Full Path: C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker 

Short Path: C:\PROGR~1\EMCNET~1

 

The same command in the symptoms section that failed would instead include the short path:

 

db2 update db cfg for DBNAME using logarchmeth1 VENDOR:C:\PROGRA~1\EMCNET~1\nsr\bin\libnsrdb2.dll  logarchopt1 C:\PROGRA~1\EMCNET~1\nsr\apps\config\nmda_db2_tlogs.cfg
