Tim,

TDP Oracle 2.1.0.9 is a pretty old version of TDP Oracle - there was not
real robust logging in that version. A few questions: Is this your only
backup that is failing? How about TSM API logging? Some of TDP Oracle log
events get logged to the API log file.

In the mean time try this: 'ENV=(DSMO_DEBUG=49)';

This will cause TDP Oracle to trace to the sbtio.log file located in the
Oracle target db's 'bdump' directory. You can try to analyze this trace
file or email it to me and I will take a look at it. In fact we can take
this offline from the ListServ and then post our findings at the end.
Thanks.

Subject: Oracle 8.1.7 backup failure


People,

Anybody have any ideas on how we can fix the following.  We have Oracle
8.1.7.0 backing up to TSM 3.7.4 using TDP for Oracle 2.1.0.9 under AIX
4.3.3
ML8.

Backup fails with the error message as below after approximately 2hrs and
errpt indicates that Oracle core dumps at this time as well.

Thanks

Tim
