Solution

To address the current issue you can changed the TAG via the command line using bppllinfo

eg: Policy: NEW_COPILOT

Step 1

C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpplinfo NEW_COPILOT -L
Policy Type:            Oracle (4)
Active:                 yes
*******
Oracle Backup Data File Arguments:                      SPECIFY_MAX_LIMITS=0,NUM_STREAMS=1,DATA_GUARD=0
Oracle Backup Archived Redo Log Arguments:             DELETE_ARCH_LOGS_AFTER_COPIES=1,SPECIFY_MAX_LIMITS=0,NUM_STREAMS=1
Database Backup Share Arguments:                   DELETE_COPIES=0,DELETE_SETS=0,DATAFILE_COPY_TAG=COPILOT

Step 2

Execute to change to set new Policy name: NEW_COPILOT

(UNIX)

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplinfo copilot -modify -db_bkup_share_args "DELETE_COPIES=0,DELETE_SETS=0,DATAFILE_COPY_TAG=NEW_COPILOT"

(Windows)
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpplinfo copilot -modify -db_bkup_share_args "DELETE_COPIES=0,DELETE_SETS=0,DATAFILE_COPY_TAG=NEW_COPILOT"

Step 3

Run bpplinfo to reflect the new change.

(UNIX)

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplinfo NEW_COPILOT -L

(Windows)

C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpplinfo NEW_COPILOT -L

Policy Type:            Oracle (4)
Active:                 yes
*******
Oracle Backup Data File Arguments:                      SPECIFY_MAX_LIMITS=0,NUM_STREAMS=1,DATA_GUARD=0
Oracle Backup Archived Redo Log Arguments:             DELETE_ARCH_LOGS_AFTER_COPIES=1,SPECIFY_MAX_LIMITS=0,NUM_STREAMS=1
Database Backup Share Arguments:                   DELETE_COPIES=0,DELETE_SETS=0,DATAFILE_COPY_TAG=NEW_COPILOT
