Hi All,
This might be more of a reporting question than a TDP question. I've been doing API backups with SQL for a long time and have never been asked to do this before, but today I was asked how I might report on the success/failure of individual DBs within an SQL TDP backup. Of course, TSM contains SQL data in a single filespace within TSM, so you can't really tell which DBs are contained within that filespace. Further, I've never seen anything in any SERVER table or log which would show you exactly how much each individual SQL DB backs up and whether or not the backup was successful.
Has anyone ever had to implement a reporting solution like this before? You can get good information off the client, but in this case I'm being asked to report from the server side ONLY. I can't send the customer to the client to look at the SQL TDP logs. The reporting tool I'm using is only tied into my TSM servers, so if I can't pull it off a server, I'd have to come up with some other "outside the box" solution.
Sincere thanks for any thoughts or suggestions!
