Hello TSM-ers, two or three weeks ago I asked list to help me with Domino backup. The problem was that, when I used TDP GUI or command line for backup I always got couple of the following error messages for various databases:
04/02/2003 08:38:53 Backup of admin4.nsf failed. 04/02/2003 08:38:53 This database is currently being used by someone else. In order to share a Notes database, all users must use a Domino Server instead of a File Server. I have done some tests and I found out one interesting thing. Succesfull backup of some Domino databases (especialy system databases like names.nsf, admin4.nsf and so on) depends on user ID under which domdsmc or TDP for Domino GUI is running. My environment is as follows: Domino 6.0 on Windows 2000 SP3 running as service under Local system user TDP for Domino 5.1.5, TSM client 5.1.5.4 TSM server 5.1.5.4 on AIX 5.1 When I used domdsmc or TDP GUI as user Administrator, I always got error messages like the one above for some of databases. Databases for which I got this error were not always the same. Sometimes some of databases was backed up succesfuly, sometimes not. When I run domdsmc via TSM scheduler, which is running under Local system user ID, all databases was backed up without errors. When I stoped Domino server and started it in foreground using Administrator ID, I could sucessfuly backup all databases with TDP GUI and also with domdsmc (using Administrator ID). So it seems that it depends on user ID, under which is Domino server running and also user ID under which is TDP for Domino running. When standard Domino instalation procedure is used, Domino server will run as service with Local system user ID and then you can not backup all databases corectly using TDP GUI or command line. Is it working as designed or is it bug? Regards Ing. Jozef Zatko Login a.s. Dlha 2, Stupava tel.: (421) (2) 60252618
