include/exclude syntax question for TSM Unix Client
Hi All, I was hoping I could get some feedback on the syntax of a set of files that I am trying to include during backup. Currently, my exclude.list file looks like so: exclude.dir /u[0-9][0-9] include.file /u38/exp/.../*.* I'm trying to get TSM to backup all the files and subdirs under /u38/exp, but still exclude all the the other u* directories and files. I must be doing something wrong, as TSM is still excluding /u38/exp. I've tried a few different combinations, but with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. Holly L.

Help w/TDP for Oracle w/RMAN
All, Please help. :-) WE are currently receiving an error message when trying to retrieve files via TDP for Oracle w/RMAN. The error we are seeing is as follows: ANS1302E (RC2) No objects on server match query I'm thinking there may be an environment variable that needs to be specifically set for the restores? Seems like I heard that somewhere once before...but if so, I'm not sure where it is or what it is. Let me know if any of you have any hints. Thanks. Holly L.

Volhist file
Hello All!!! I have a issue/question that I'm hoping someone out there knows the answer to... We just discoverd that our volhistory file is maintaining copies of full/incr db backups since February 2002. As most of you may have guessed, we don't want it to do this...:-) Isn't there a parm that can be set somewhere to tell TSM how many versions of this to keep? Where is it? How does one do this??

Re: TSM Restore help
Thanks for the response. I'll try that. Holly L. Peppers BCBSFL Technical Services -Original Message- From: Don France [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 7:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM Restore help Nope,,, I haven't personally seen this error -- BUT I've seen similar types of problems when the nodename was used by a later client version, then the user tries to restore using the older client version. Once a later version is used (to backup or archive data) going back to the older version should generate a more gracious message, sometimes they just get the wrong message index number! Try running from a higher level client (preferably 4.2.x), then if it still fails, call SupportLine... you may need to be at 4.2 or later to get support, as your client level went out service a long time ago. Also, you could bypass the file in question, using web-client, to see if other data is restorable -- probably not.

TDP for Informix error
I have a customer who is currently using TDP for Informix. He tried to do a restore of his database, and can only restore the most recent version of his database. I'm not sure what this error message is that he is seeing, nor what causes it. Can you guys provide any help? Thanks. :-) (See customer's note below regarding the error...) Guys - I tried to restore the production database in our test environment that we have created and here is what I found out. I can use my last back and restore the database just fine. That is if the database backup did complete and we did not have any problems. I can use any point in time after the last backup was taken and restore the database just fine. Now here is the problem: I can not go to my previous backups. It gives me the BSABAROBJECT error message. I only have the box for the next few days and I need your help. This is very important because if for some reason our recent backup is corrupted I can not go back to the old copies. This can pose big problems in case of disaster and especially TSM being the only backup with no cloning options. Any help you can provide hopefully today or tomorrow is greatly appreciated. I need to give the current box back to Unix admins. Holly L.

If you want the event to wait for inventory expiration to comlete, change the schedule to include the WAIT=YES parameter.

Re: Archive hangs and Poor Archive Performance at TSM 4.1.2 & 4.2
Hi all!! I have been working with Ike on this issue too. Can I add more?? please?? :-) IBM has not only requested more and more traces, but they have consistently complained that they are not receiving the data they need. Hmmm... On at least 2 occasions, they specifically requested information that had already been sent to them. Of course I pointed that out to them!!! :-) Too, the IBM tech support rep asked for the wrong trace information, so we find out the next day by their developer.

HEAR! That's what we've been saying all along. Not only that, but Tivoli support has consistently implied that the programmers scripts caused the problem, so the programmer is not happy with Tivoli at all! To make matters worse, it took almost a month for them to tell us to implement TSM 4.2 They also asked dumps and traces. When trace was on archive processes did not hang. Nothing happened the same way twice. This has been a moving target so it's a difficult bug to shoot. I say that a process that had sub-second response in a prior release should have the same or better response in a software release "upgrade".

That's the kind of recommendation one usually gets only as a circumvention. The performance problem is conspicuously real, and Tivoli should be providing a fix for it, as the client software should never have gotten out in that condition, given proper testing. At a minimum there should be an advisory in the client Readme file about the problem, but I see nothing there. This is not being handled well.
