error during restoring DB2 database using command line

Question

Hi all,We are in the midst of trying to perform DB2 database restoration at another location. Using the db2 command "restore db&nbsp;xxx load "C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin
bdb2.dll" taken at 20180520044218 into&nbsp;xxx-test redirect" , we facing an error "SQL2040N The database alias parameter "xxx-test" is not valid or not specified".&nbsp;Have any idea? For information, the db2.conf file is configured for alternate restore. Any place to check?Thank you

This is a DB2 error.
See&nbsp;https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_10.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.messages.sql.doc/doc/msql02040n.html
Explanation

The application calling the Backup or Restore utility has supplied a database alias parameter that is not valid. The alias must be 1 to 8 bytes and the characters must be chosen from the database manager base character set.

User response

Reissue the Backup or Restore command with a valid database alias.
