ANS1035S (RC406) Options file '*' could not be found / prole problem

[benoit16]

Hello,

First of all, happy new year

On one node, it was not possible any more to backup our Oracle/SAP DB with backint.

The error was the following:
BKI2027I: Using TSM-API version 7.1.6.0 (compiled with 7.1.3.0).
BKI2000I: Successfully connected to ProLE on port tdpr3ora64.
BKI0005I: Start of program at: Sat 31 Dec 2016 08:16:46 PM CET.
BKI1214E: TSM Error for session to server XXX:
ANS1035S (RC406) Options file '*' could not be found, or it cannot be read.

BKI1201E: There are no Tivoli Storage Manager-Servers available.
BKI1203E: Not enough sessions available (2 required and 0 available).

The option file was readable for every Unix account.
Then I restarted the prole process.
This has solve the problem.

1. What is this prole process used for?
2. How could I have guessed that it was due to the prole process?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Most likely you are affected by following apar: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IT11153
You can workaround it by adding
Enableinstrumentation NO
to your SAP stanzas in dsm.sys

Thanks for the url.
In this url, the option Enableinstrumentation is not specified.
How do you know that it is a work around?

Could someone also answer my first question:
What is this prole process used for?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It's actually the workaround for this APAR: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IT16364

Hello,

I had read that "This process listens on the Data Protection for SAP port tdpr3ora64tdpr3db264 for backint and RMAN connectionsconnections with the shared library and sends performance-related information to the Administration Assistant Server component.".

But there is still something that I am missing.
In our case, there is no Administration Assistant Server.
Therefore why is the prole mandatory?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Exactly as you read:
"This process:
1) listens on the Data Protection for SAP port tdpr3ora64/tdpr3db264 for backint and RMAN connections with the shared library
2) sends performance-related information to the Administration Assistant Server component.".

So even if you don't use 2), you need 1)

EDIT: Sorry for misleading, APAR IT11153 was first google hit when I did search for it. Actually IT16364 was created during my PMR
