Gents, I'm having some weirdness with the TDP that's driving me crazy because my DBQ is wearing me out about it.
The problem is that we're seeing errors that a transaction failed, mainly with the "Requested data was not found" errors. My contention is that these jobs are getting retried, as was the case in times past. However, I don't see that in the logs in later versions of the TDP. Here are some snips from the logs: >From dsmerror.log: 08/07/10 23:00:31 ANS0278S The transaction will be aborted. 08/07/10 23:00:31 ANS1309I The requested data is offline. 08/07/10 23:00:33 ANS1303E Client ended transaction -- These are warnings, unlike the ones on 8/7 and 8/10 08/08/10 23:58:10 ANS4992W TDP Oracle AIX ANU0599 TDP for Oracle: (21884988): =>(tulhci01-oracle) ANU2604W The object /tulhci01_hcidb/ /c-506694242-20100808-06 was not found on the TSM Server 08/09/10 00:10:44 ANS4992W TDP Oracle AIX ANU0599 TDP for Oracle: (21266518): =>(tulhci01-oracle) ANU2604W The object /tulhci01_hcidb/ /c-251359303-20100809-00 was not found on the TSM Server 08/10/10 23:00:42 ANS0278S The transaction will be aborted. 08/10/10 23:00:42 ANS1309I The requested data is offline. 08/10/10 23:02:07 ANS1303E Client ended transaction >From tdpoerror.log: 08/07/10 23:00:31 TID<26927212> ==> ANS0278S (RC157) The transaction will be aborted. 08/07/10 23:00:31 TID<26927212> ==> ANS1309I (RC9) The requested data is offline. 08/07/10 23:00:31 TID<26927212> ==> ANU2539E sbtwrite2(): Error - buf pointer is NULL. 08/07/10 23:00:31 TID<26927212> ==> ANU2539E sbtwrite2(): Error - buf pointer is NULL. 08/07/10 23:00:31 TID<26927212> ==> ANU2539E sbtwrite2(): Error - buf pointer is NULL. 08/10/10 23:00:42 TID<28192938> ==> ANS0278S (RC157) The transaction will be aborted. 08/10/10 23:00:42 TID<28192938> ==> ANS1309I (RC9) The requested data is offline. 08/10/10 23:00:42 TID<28192938> ==> ANU2539E sbtwrite2(): Error - buf pointer is NULL. 08/10/10 23:00:42 TID<28192938> ==> ANU2539E sbtwrite2(): Error - buf pointer is NULL. 08/10/10 23:00:42 TID<28192938> ==> ANU2539E sbtwrite2(): Error - buf pointer is NULL. Information from the Client/Server: Client OS: AIX 5.3.11 TSM BA Client: 6.2.1 TSM Server: 5.5.3 TSM TDP: 5.5.2 I found the doc about the "Requested Data not found" and I understand what that means. However, the TDP is reporting the backup completed, (as shown by looking at the details of the filespaces), and this is coming from a full backup. My stance is that the backups are getting done, and that this transaction is being retried, but the DBA doesn't see it that way, and since I can't show it definitively in the log I need some help on this.
