Re: TSM - R3 brbackup/brarchive

Hello John,

In the following error message, I can see that you are using 'backup_type'
as 'file' (-t file). In my knowledge, there is no parameter like 'file' to
support backup_type. Can you tell me any reason why you are using
backup_type as file?

"BR272E Execution of program '/usr/sap/P05/SYS/exe/run/backint -u P05 -f
backup - i /oracle/P05/sapbackup/.bdijewiy.lst -t file -p
/oracle/P05/817_64/dbs/initP05.utl -c' through pipe failed "

There are no errors in the error log, only a message in the activity log as
follows.......

The SAP tools are at 610 version 11

If the brbackup/brarchive is rerun it works ok, this is an intermittent
failure with both the brbackup and brarchive process and has no pattern.
The backup is LAN free via fabric as this server is running a StorageAgent.
Tivoli are unable to pinpoint the cause of the failure and have suggested
that patch IY22308 be applied, I have not yet applied the patch which fixes
a memory leak in 4.3.3 ML9 as I cannot get the downtime required.
