I've held off, as I don't do True64 --

In the AIX world, there are overrides for the location of the dsm.opt and
dsm.sys files used by the api interface (backint uses the api interface).
These are DSMI_CONFIG (pointer to the opt file) and DSMI_DIR (path to the
binaries). Set and export the environment variables. Mine look like this:

DSMI_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/dsm.opt
DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin

Also, in the initSID.utl file for backint, in the server stanza, you should
see a line for 'PASSWORDREQUIRED'. If set to 'NO' then passwordaccess (tsm)
is assumed to be 'generate'. If set to 'YES' then you need to run (as the DB
owner id) backint -f password -p <path to initSID.utl>; the password will be
encrypted and saved in the initSID.bki file -- and this will need to be done
any time the password changes.

Subject: Post again Not a peep on SAP R/3 on Tru64


I don't know if there is an issue with my account and my mail is not being
sent or if I'm just being ignored ;). So anyway here is a question I asked
on running TDP for SAP R/3 on True64 along with the baclient.

We have a node that has been sucessfully backing up SAP R/3 data with the
agent, latest. The DB is on a Tru64 O/S, which has the baclient installed,
latest. I set up a seperate node for the client data and have been told the
server would not keep the scheduler running. Logging in through the baclient
would always request username and password. What was done to fix that is by
adding passwordaccess generate. Now it seems the SAP R/3 has quit working
because of it. WIth that line removed the client now fails and the Agent
works again.

Not having much knowledge of the SAP R/3 Agent I can only figure they are
using the same dsm.sys/dsm.opt files for the client and the agent when they
should be seperate. At least this is how the Domino, SQL and other Windows
agents work. Is this correct or is there some other issue that needs
addressing on this node?
