BKI1206W error when querying for the SAP backups.

Troubleshooting


Problem

The backfm program is returning the error: "backint call was not successful" The backint -p initSID.utl -f inquire gives the error: "BKI0024I: Return code is: 1."

Symptom

For this problem, the output from the backint log shows:


    > backint -p /oracle/DEV/817_32/dbs/initDEV.utl -f inquire
Please enter the records for 'inquire' :
{ <backup_id1> | #NULL } [ <file1> ]
[ <backup_id2> | #NULL [ <file2> ] ]
(Press ENTER after each record / line. Press CTRL-D to finish the list.)
#NULL
...
BKI1206W: If you want 2 REDOLOGCOPIES on Tivoli Storage Manager-Server TSM01 you should give me at least 2 different Archive Management Classes.

Cause

If the initSID.utl file specifies a value of 2 for the REDOLOG_COPIES there must be 2 management classes specified for the BRARCHIVEMGTCLASS parameter.

Environment

Parameters from the initSID.utl file that cause the error message:


    REDOLOGCOPIES 2
    BRBACKUPMGMTCLASS DB_MC
    BRARCHIVEMGMTCLASS LOG1_MC

Working initSID.utl parameters:
    REDOLOGCOPIES 2
    BRBACKUPMGMTCLASS DB_MC
    BRARCHIVEMGMTCLASS LOG1_MC LOG2_MC

Resolving The Problem

When running the backint command, the initSID.utl file is read and all of the parameters are verified, regardless of whether the command was to run a backup or just to inquire about the backups. The initSID.utl file is also used when running backfm to inquire about the backups.

If the initSID.utl has the parameter

REDOLOGCOPIES 2

it is necessary to specify at least 2 values for the BRARCHIVEMGMTCLASS parameter. If the number of management classes versus the redo log copies are not in synch, the following error will be seen:



    BKI1206W: If you want 2 REDOLOGCOPIES on Tivoli Storage Manager-Server TSM01 you should give me at least 2 different Archive Management Classes.

Although the BKI1206W is only a warning message, this can cause the inquire for the backups to fail. If the REDOLOGCOPIES is being specified as 2, then the BRARCHIVEMGTCLASS must have values for 2 management classes. Alternatively, the REDOLOGCOPIES can be set to the default value of 1.
