Hi,

we had similar problems with our LiveCache on an AIX system (SAPDB is of
version 7.4.2) in combination with TSM and backint for Oracle.

We now use a simple wrapper script instead of calling the backint for
Oracle directly as a quick hack: 
--- cut here ---
#!/bin/ksh

unset BI_CALLER
exec path-to-backint-for-oracle/backint "$@"
--- cut here ---

This script lives in the wrk directory for the LiveCache db as
backint.wrapper and the backint of SAPDB gets the following definition
in its utl file:
BACKINT: path-for-wrk-dir/backint.wrapper

Regards
Holger
