Fixing “BAD CONTAINER PATH” Error

One of the most commonly used DB2 database component to store different type of records is a ‘table’. These tables are stored in the tablespaces, which are built up of more than one containers. These containers act as a physical unit of storage and save all critical information related to the data saved in the table. Damage in a containers primarily results into an error message that results inaccessibility of the data saved in the table. In such cases, if a Database Administrator (DBA) wants to access the data saved in the table, then s/he needs to restore it from an updated backup. However, if no backup is available, then the DBA needs search for effective DB2 Database Recovery solutions.

To elaborate the above scenario, consider a practical case where you encounter the below error message while restoring your DB2 database from one computer to another:

“Bad container path. SQLSTATE=428B2 ”

After the above error message pops up, the data saved in the database becomes inaccessible. The same error message appears each time you try to access the database.

Cause:

The two main reasons for the occurrence of the above error message are discussed below:

· You are restoring the database with a different set of defined databases.

· The DB2 database is corrupted.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and to access the data saved in the databases, you will need to follow the below steps:

· You will need to perform a redirected restore.

· In case of database corruption, restore the database from an adequate backup. However, in absence of an updated backup, you will need to repair the corrupted database. To do so, you will need an advanced DB2 Database Recovery application.

A DB2 Recovery tool employs effective repairing techniques to surmount corruption caused due to any logical crash.
