Not sure But the response of Completed comes from the fact that the script is completed. I get a completed status from my TDP's as long as the script completes, even if no tablespaces were backed up.

All comments are welcome. TSM Server 5.1.5.2 on W2K platform TSM BA Client 5.1.5.0 and TDPO 5.1.5 on Solaris 2.6 If we start the scheduler in foreground, the backup completes whithout error. We use this command: /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched -se=tsm1_sched If we start the scheduler in background, the backup fails, but Q EVENTS says Completed, RMAN dos not start (no records in the RMAN Log). We use the "at" command to start the scheduler in background: at now /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched -se=tsm1_sched "ctrl-D" Following are records from actlog, schedlog and q events, when backup fails (shedule started in background). Also the dsm.sys file. actlog: 08-01-2003 04:20:00 for node E450_ORA completed successfully at 08-01-2003 04:58:51. 08-01-2003 04:58:51 ANR0403I Session 1401 ended for node E450_ORA (SUN dsmsched.log: Executing scheduled command now. 01/08/03 04:58:39 Node Name: E450_ORA 01/08/03 04:58:39 Session established with server TSM1: Windows 01/08/03 04:58:39 Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 5.2 01/08/03 04:58:39 Server date/time: 01/08/03 04:58:51 Last access: 01/08/03 03:27:51 01/08/03 04:58:39 Executing Operating System command or script: /u01/app/oracle/local/bin/hotrman.sh 01/08/03 04:58:39 Finished command.
