Hi,
Be very careful about clients in the event record recorded as "In Progress".
In Progress means the back-up is still running. Because you sent your "Q
SESS" output, we know that the TSM server hasn't any running back-up
sessions, so someone isn't on track.
I would recommend that you either take a good look at the schedule log
(client side) and/or actlog (server sided) and see if the last back-up of
this client was indeed that from yesterday. In the past we saw that new
back-ups didn't start for clients which were in the "In Progress" state.
One thing we did to minimize the number of "In Progress" clients was making
the scheduler service managed by the client acceptor. The other thing was
upgrading these failing client to v5.1.5.15 (still do, but there are people
out there who will tell you to go to another level).
Regard,
Karel

Onderwerp: Re: Query Event for Previous day shows status In Progress
I guess I should rephrase the question.
Can someone tell me what the when I query an event what in-progress in the
status column means?
This isn't making much sense to me. For example, today I queried the events
for my nt_backups. I queried my events for the past 3 days. The output
seem to indicate that the event is still in progress. I have attached the
schedule and the output from the query events, but I still don't understand
what in-progress means from 2 days ago??

Subject: Re: Query Event for Previous day shows status In Progress
Am I off base in suggesting that query events is not a
reliable way to check backup status?
We've found that you can have:
--events that say Missed, but you DO have a good backup
(it started late, or was run manually, etc, but it WAS done)
--events that say Completed, but you DON'T have a good backup
(it Completed the kickoff of a TDP agent;
the agent failed an hour later)
--NO events at all for some nodes
(your DBA may want to control the timing with crontab,
rather than the TSM scheduler do it)
--skipped files, and events doesn't help you there.
(outlook.pst, for example, usually stays open/locked, so
TSM misses it. The event status is Completed, because it's
"only" one file...!!)
This is old news to some people, but maybe useful for others.
