Veritas NetBackup™ for Oracle Administrator's Guide

To create the NetBackup for Oracle for Windows database agent logs manually

1. Create the following directories on the client:

   • bpubsora

     For any Oracle database instance browse problems when a template is created for backup or restore.

     install_path\NetBackup\logs\bpubsora

   • bphdb

     For any backup that is initiated from an automated schedule on the master server.

     install_path\NetBackup\logs\bphdb

   • bpdbsbora

     For any template-based backup or restore, including OIP and Guided Recovery.

     install_path\NetBackup\logs\bpdbsbora

   • dbclient

     For any backup or restore using RMAN.

     install_path\NetBackup\logs\dbclient

   • bpbkar

     For any snapshot backup.

     install_path\NetBackup\logs\bpbkar

   • tar

     For any snapshot restore.

     install_path\NetBackup\logs\tar

2. Verify the user or group that the Oracle process (process that loads orasbt.dll) has appropriate permissions to write to the following directories if they exist. If the following directories do not exist, the directories are created automatically with the correct permissions.

   install_path\NetBackup\logs\user_ops

   install_path\NetBackup\logs\user_ops\dbext

   install_path\NetBackup\logs\user_ops\dbext\logs

   Also verify that the user or group that the Oracle process runs as has appropriate permissions to write to the log directories in step 1.

3. On the NetBackup server or servers, create the debug log directories for the legacy processes that interact with the Oracle agent.

   On the master server:

   install_path\NetBackup\logs\bprd

   On the media server or servers:

   install_path\NetBackup\logs\bpbrm

   install_path\NetBackup\logs\bptm

4. The debug logs for unified processes on the server and the client hosts are created automatically by NetBackup.

   NetBackup writes unified logs to install_path\NetBackup\logs.
