Greetings all. This one has me baffled, and whilst I'd normally spend more time investigating, I'm going on leave tomorrow for three days, and other parties view this as sufficiently urgent that I want to resolve it if possible before then. Basically, we have a number of applications based around Oracle databases (eg: SAP); these are backed up using the archive facility of TSM (yes, I'm aware of the inherent contradiction in that statement.)
As an example of the problem, I have logs from the client that claim that the command:
dsmc archive -description="CDUT_WEEKLY_07/05/05 01:00" - compression=no -archmc=DDB_WEEKLY_8WR_1 /space/CDUT/data/sis_d4.dbf
completed successfully. Investigating the activity log for the appropriate time also indicates that the archive completed successfully. However, if I then run, on the archiving client, the command:
dsmc q archive / -subdir=yes | grep CDUT_WEEKLY_07
I get back nothing -- there are entries for March or so, but definitely not for May. In comparison, if I run the command
select description from archive where node_name='(source host)'
and look through the output, I see CDUT_WEEKLY_07/05/05 01:00 in the list.
All of this combined suggests to me that the data is there; it's just that the query archive command, for some unknown reason, isn't reporting it.
Anybody have any suggestions on what to do next?
Many thanks in advance,
Stuart.
