Dale, You explanation of the environment might need a bit of clarification but I will make some guesses for now. If you are running Oracle 9.2, that version of Oracle is 64bit (Oracle dropped 32bit AIX with 9i) and therefor you will need to make sure that your Data Protection for Oracle and your TSM API (comes with DP for Oracle package) are 64bit. It does not matter what your kernel mode is set to, the Oracle and DP for Oracle have to be the same architecture. Once you verify that you will need to make sure that your linking is set correctly as explained below.
The most common problems are due to the name of the Data Protection for Oracle library (/usr/lib/libobk64.a). Regardless of whether Oracle is 32bit or 64bit it expects this library name to be the same (/usr/lib/libobk.a) - we chose this naming to allow for both 32 bit and 64bit Oracle to be installed on the same machine. You have several options at this point: You can rename the link /usr/lib/libobk64.a to /usr/lib/libobk.a and that should allow Oracle to easily find the library. You can make the link $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.a -> /usr/lib/libobk64.a and then "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib;$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" Or, you can make the link $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.a -> /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/libobk64.a and then "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib;$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" I am sure that my explanations are a bit vague. If you want more detailed information please go to link below as there are many documents that explain in more detail this and other potential gotchas. Hope this helps. http://www-3.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2003 15:47:39 -0600 From: Dale Gieseke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TDPO V5.2 with RMAN setup Greeting all, My DBAs are having a problem with TDP for Oracle version 5.2.
