Hi all
We've been using SQL-Backtrack for Sybase and Oracle for 4+ years. And
recently:
Upgrading the obsi to v2.5 yielded a non functioning system. BMC
personnel, after spending 3 days trying to dial into our system (got warm
fuzzies just with that alone) did manage to get their stuff to work BUT....
They don't seem to be able to support PASSWORDACCESS Generate
They strongly felt they needed to create a new client node to contain the
backtrack info and were unable to use the nodename (hostname) of the
machine from where the databases reside. Further they didn't understand
the impact of a nodename change (we use colocation, and they wouldn't be
able to restore any old SQL backups)
They claim they don't support TSM4.1.2
They could not understand what client option sets were
They want us to change ownership of the generated password file away from
root to they could read it.
Calls to support are indeed frustrating. Where it my choice, I'd move to
another method ASAP.

We have been using SQL-Backtrack for 3 years now.
We like it very well. Yes, it will do hot backups.
SQL-Backtrack backs up directly to TSM using the API interface.

Subject: SQL-Backtrack OBSI Module (via TSM API) for Oracle -versus- TSM
TDP for Oracle
People,
I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this stuff.
I am really interested in both Oracle and SQL Server!
1) Does SQL-Backtrack backup directly into TSM without having to use/buy
the
TSM TDP for Oracle/SQL Server ?
2) Can you do a HOT backup of the Oracle/SQL Server database ?
3) Is it slick ... does it work well ?
Thank you, Larry
