We installed the ADSMConnect Agent for Oracle EBU on 3 ADSM servers
about 6 months ago, and it is working very well for us.

You don't say what kind of problems you are experienceing..

My Oracle guy had a LOT of problems getting EBU installed, because it
was not installed at the same time as Oracle 7.  He spent a lot of time
on the phone with Oracle to get EBU to work.

Once we got EBU to work, it was pretty easy to install the Connect
Agent.  However, you have to be careful about how you set up the Connect
agent..  if you don't follow the instructions exactly, and get the right
environment variables set, it doesn't work.

One thing that may help:  If you get EBU errors during the backup, check
(1) the ADSM server activity log, and (2) the dsierror.log file on the
client.  If the problem is anywhere between EBU and ADSM, usually it
will show up one of those places.

BTW, we found it easier to set up by registering TWO nodes for the AIX
machine running Oracle.  We use HOSTNAME for the ADSM backup client
which backs up all the non-Oracle data on the machine, and HOSTNAME_EBU
for the Connect Agent client.  Takes two licenses, but makes life
simpler.

Anyway, our biggest problem was with the EBU install.  After that, it
has worked very well.
