Stuart, Are you setting TDPO_NUM_BUFFERS to something to other than 1 (default)? Setting TDPO_NUM_BUFFERS to anything higher causes TDP Oracle to spawn threads for sending data buffers to the TSM Server. If you have TDPO_NUM_BUFFERS in your options file, comment it out using '*' and run again. If you still experience this behavior, you have a couple of options:
1. Upgrade TDP for Oracle to 2.2.1, and/or 2. Call Tivoli support and open a problem record. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 May 2002 13:11:47 +0100 From: Stuart Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TDP for Oracle causing Mutex problems. Hi, NT 4 Server running SP6a. TSM 4.2, TDP for oracle 2.2.0.2 We currently have a problem where, when our oracle database backups run, they are causing the Mutexes to hit 500 or above. Once this happens no one is able to logon to any of the databases, and the only way around this problem is to reboot the server, or stop and start the oracle scheduler service and all the databases affected. Anyone got any ideas please Regards Stuart Regards, Neil Rasmussen Software Development TDP for Oracle [EMAIL PROTECTED]
