Micahael, It sounds to me like that during the upgrade the TDP Oracle soft links were corrupted. Please verify that the following exist:
/usr/lib/libobk64.a -> /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/libobk64.a and/or $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.a -> /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/libobk64.a If the above does not help, you could as a last ditch effort, reinstall TDP Oracle to see if that helps. Otherwise, I would suggest calling IBM support and opening a problem ticket.
