Integrating Oracle and Data Protector

Monitoring an Oracle Backup and Restore

Viewing Previous Sessions

To view a previous session using the Data Protector GUI, proceed as follows:

1.In the Context List, click Internal Database.

2.In the Scoping Pane, expand Sessions to display all the sessions stored in the IDB.

The sessions are sorted by date. Each session is identified by a session ID consisting of a date in the YY/MM/DD format and a unique number.

3.Right-click the session and select Properties to view details on the session.

4.Click the General, Messages or Media tab to display general information on the session, session messages, or information on the media used for this session, respectively.

Details about Oracle backup and restore sessions are also written in the following logs on the Oracle Server system:

•Data Protector writes the logs in:

Windows: <Data_Protector_home>\log\oracle8.log

HP-UX and Solaris: /var/opt/omni/log/oracle8.log

Other UNIX: usr/omni/log/oracle8.log

OpenVMS: OMNI$ROOT:[LOG]ORACLE8.LOG

•Oracle writes the logs in the <Oracle user dump directory>\sbtio.log file.
