Are you starting via cron or elsewhere? I don't see where you are passing a
send statement. If you don't define the parameter than it will run the backup
in the first policy of type Oracle it finds (in alphabetical order) with the
client in that policy. Everything is running in the same policy.
Note this from your original email for an archive:
4/29/2010 2:53:23 PM - requesting resource
nbumaster01.sun.spartech.com.NBU_POLICY.MAXJOBS.Solaris_OraArchTier1
And this from the level 0:
4/17/2010 12:59:59 AM - requesting resource
nbumaster01.sun.spartech.com.NBU_POLICY.MAXJOBS.Solaris_OraDbTier1
Both show the same policy.
And this from the most recent email showing the full running in that policy:
NB_ORA_POLICY: Solaris_OraDbTier1
Here's an example of a send statement:
SEND
'NB_ORA_CLIENT=client_name,NB_ORA_POLICY=policy_name,NB_ORA_SERV=master_name,NB_ORA_SCHED=sched_name';
If you aren't defining these variables you are pretty much just praying that it
will go the right place. Since you have one script for both types of backups
you'll have to do appropriate if statements to figure out which policy you want.
Also, I'm not a fan of defining filesperset in archive log jobs, it makes the
backup sets smaller and creates more jobs in NBU which means more resource
broker work, etc etc but do your research on removing it before listening to
some random guy on the internet. ;) Basically your archive log jobs will be
about 3x bigger assuming there are enough files out there to make the job that
big.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
We have a host that houses an oracle instance backed up by 2 separate
policies. 1 Policy backups up archivelogs. The second policy backs up
the database. Both of these policies call the same RMAN script. Both
policies point to the same storage unit group which contains 2 storage
units. These storage units are 2 directories on a data domain storage
appliance

Any help greatly appreciated,
