Hello All,

        We are having a problem when attempting to backup a tablespace from a
SAP Oracle database.  I have included the output and errors we receive below.
Our environment is
        SAP server -    AIX 4.3.3
                        Oracle 8.0.5.2.1
                        SAP V4.5
                        TSM Client 4.1.0
                        TSM API 4.1.0

        TSM Server -      AIX 4.3.2
                        TSM V3.7
                        TSM Client

        Has anyone experienced problems similar to the ones below?  If you have,
what was done to resolve them?  Thanks for the help.
