I am having the same problem and currently have a ticket open with Tivoli. On the server with this issue, 2 of the 8 journal databases remained valid -- all remained active
-----Original Message----- From: Joe Howell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 11:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TSM 5.2.3 journal service crashes? I'm having problems with the journal service on one of my clients and need some idea if the problem is with me or with the service. This particular system is a large Windows 2000 file server, with around 175GB of stuff on one drive. Because of processing constraints I am restricted to a 5-hour backup window. I kick off my backups at around 1700 and if they're not done by 2200 the session is cancelled so that migration and vault copies can start. The journal service is critical to this particular server because it speeds things up so much. The problem I'm having is that on some nights the backup runs long and the session gets cancelled. At that point the journal service crashes and then, since the journal gets invalidated, I get into a vicious cycle of having to do a non-journal-based incremental backup that can't finish because it takes so long to scan the filesystem, etc., etc. 1) Is anyone else having problems with a 5.2.3 journal service crashing when a client session is cancelled? I don't see much in the archives and even less in IBM's knowledge base. 2) Does the cancellation of a backup session necessarily invalidate a journal? I don't see why it would, but I didn't write the code. 3) Am I living on the edge here? Should I reasonably expect to be able to do what I'm trying to do? ####################### Joe Howell Shelter Insurance Companies (573)-214-6534 [EMAIL PROTECTED] The enclosed information is STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL and is intended for the use of the addressee only.
