Boris,

     Your errors look familiar to what I encountered several months ago.  I have
a very similar setup as you do.  One RS6000 is running Oracle 7.3.4 using EBU
and I'm almost finished setting up another RS6000 that's running Oracle 8.1.7
using RMAN.  The os is AIX 4.3.3 on both clients.  Do you still have libobk.a
located in your tivoli install directory for the oracle client?  My install path
is /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin, so I have
/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/libobk.a linked to /usr/lib/libobk.a.

Subject:  TDP for Oracle with EBU and AIX




Without going into details on how this all came about,
this
is the situation that I am in.

I am running AIX 4.3.3, Oracle 7.3.3 and TSM 4.2.1. I
also have Oracle 8.1.7.1 installed and am planning an
upgrade shortly.

Up until yesterday I was happily backing up my Ora 7
DB's using EBU to
ADSM. I installed the Oracle TDP and then my Ora 7
Backups fell in a heap.

I contacted Tivoli support and was told I had to use
RMAN to use the Oracle TDP 2.2.1
and my only option was to uninstall the TDP. I did
that and my backups
stopped working with a missing libobk.a. (I foolishly
decided that since I didn't have oracle TDP installed,
I could quite easily just commit the software - live
and learn)

I tried looking creating the symbolic link
/usr/lib/libobk.a -> /usr/lpp/adsmagent/aob/libobk.a
but then ran into problems but tried creating another
link
libApiDS.a ->
/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/libApiDS.a

Now ebu runs but not properly. If I do an ebutool
-dblist I get errors like
EBU-543: Sbtinfo call failed while obtaining
information for "1071661028291445"
  on 07-AUG-02 20:39 [ 180862 : brufile ]
EBU-7110: Sbtinit: Invalid argument(s)
  on 08/07/2002 20:39:34 [ 199806 : britinfo ]
EBU-4302: Error occurred while querying Backup File
Set "1068551028032248"
  on 08/07/2002 20:39:34 [ 199806 : britinfo ]

I also checked my backups of the /usr/lib directory
and there were no symbolic links for the above two
before I did the installation.

Does anyone have any clues about where the symbolic
links should be for ebu to return to working order?

If I can't get it working I will have to bring my
upgrade forward and rely on an export of the database
as a backup of the database before conversion but I
don't really want to do that.

Any one got any suggestions?

Thanks
Boris
