Hi there,

Yes there are some tricks to avoid wasting several days when installing
AgentConnect for Oracle :

Installation order :
1) Oracle
2) ADSM Backup/Archive client (if needed)
3) ADSM AgentConnect for ORACLE
4) EBU / RMAN

When you install the ADSM AgentConnect, please DO Copy the 2 DLL s
orastb.dll (the interface DLL between ADSM and ORACLE) and the adsmv3.dll
in the %SYSTEM32% directory. If orastb.dll do not use the correct DLL,
you will
hang EBUTOOL.

Hope this helps,
Herve


Here are some very simple scripts I made for testing :


ech4@consp_e:/home/user/ech4/adsm/nt/oracle# cat strtbkp.cmd
rem -----------
rem strtbkp.cmd
rem -----------

set DSMI_Config=D:\SysAppl\ADSM\agentOBA\dsm.opt
set DSMI_DIR=D:\SysAppl\ADSM\agentOBA
set DSMI_LOG=D:\SysAppl\ADSM\agentOBA
set ORACLE_HOME=D:\Sysappl\Orant
set ORACLE_SID=EBU
set EBU_HOME=D:\Sysappl\Orant\OBackup
set EBU_EXE=D:\SysAppl\orant\obackup\bin\ebu
set EBU_SCRIPT=D:\SysAppl\Scripts\bkpADSM.txt
%EBU_EXE% %EBU_SCRIPT% -noa

ech4@consp_e:/home/user/ech4/adsm/nt/oracle# cat bkpADSM.txt
backup online
db_name = "ADSM"
tablespace = "TBS1", "TEMP", "SYSTEM", "RBS"
log="D:\SYSAPPL\ADSM\LOG\bkpADSM.log"
trace="D:\SYSAPPL\ADSM\LOG\bkpADSM.trc"

Subject: Installation of connect agent for ORACLE database on WinNT

We are going to do our first installation of the connect agent to backup
an
ORACLE database on WinNT platform. Anybody familiar with this installation
and what we maybe must be looking for to avoid unnecessary waste of time
and/or problems?
Thanks
