backup hangs until shedule restart

[foobar2devnull]

Windows 2003 R2 SP2 - TSM Client 6.2.2.2 - TDP MS SQL 5.5.4.2

Hello,

I'm having a problem I just can not figure out. Maybe one of you faced the same problem?

The system is a windows box with MS SQL running. See above for details

If I run a backup manually, it will work.

If the backup is run through the scheduler, the system backup will fail with an error 12:

[...]
04/04/2011 19:04:50 ANS0106E Message index not found for message 1688.

04/04/2011 19:05:02 ANS1512E Scheduled event 'INC_1900' failed.  Return code = 12.

Then the TDP will run and succeed. The next day however, the system backup will simply hang until I restart the scheduler:

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

A call to IBM is in order as this maybe a bug

Check the DSM.opt file

Check the DSM.opt

Check the DSM.opt file and check the managed service and session inititation option

MANAGEDSERVICES WEBCLIENT or SCHEDULER

SESSIONINTITATION CLIENT OR SERVER

Sorry for the late reply but I was answering when my box went down... then got side tracked on other issues

Thank you both for your feedback.

Hi moon-buddy,

This is looking more and more like a system problem. System state backups are now failing too.

If I do find a solution other than the re-installation of the box, I'll post it.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Fazil,

Neither of these settings are in my 'dsm.opt' file (see bellow) but I suspect the defaults are 'MANAGEDSERVICES SCHEDULER' and 'SESSIONINTITATION SERVER'. The dsm.opt file bellow is the template I use for all my windows boxes.

A long shot ... but did you happen to figure out what the issue was?

We had a very similar error recently.
