Joe, Not sure what version of TDP for Oracle you are using, but with TDP Oracle 2.2.1 we actually send 2 messages to the TSM Server activity log that you may find useful:
ANU2535I File /fs/ll/<backuppiece> = number of bytes sent. (This denotes a successful backup) ANU2536I File /fs/ll/<backuppiece> = number of bytes received. (This denotes a successful restore). Note: On UNIX the Low Level path (ll) is empty on Windows the Low Level path is /orcnt. These two messages may be of some use to you to help automate your notifications. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2002 09:26:28 -0400 From: "Wholey, Joseph (TGA\\MLOL)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Monitoring oracle Backups Recently installed TDP for Oracle. DBA's would like to be paged "real time" if a database backup fails. Aside from the paging part, does anyone know where I can pull the status of an Oracle database backup as soon as it completes. I don't want to extract from the client logs (when would I start looking?) And the Activity log does not supply all that much useful information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thx. -joe- Regards, Neil Rasmussen Software Development TDP for Oracle
