Try and find the sbtio.log file. It probably contains more useful messages
about the cause.

Subject: TDP for Oracle Error !!!!!!


Hi TSM'rs

When I tried to do a full backup using the TDP for Oracle the following
error message appear:

RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms
4> 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdpo.opt)';
5> backup
6> filesperset 15
7> format 'df_%t_%s_%p'
8> (database);
9> release channel t1;
10> }
11>

In the same way when I tried to do a archive log backup using the TDP for
Oracle the following message appear:

RMAN> run

'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdpo.opt)';

release channel t1;
}
