RE: Weird finderr issue

Posted By: Alexandre Marini

In Response To: Weird finderr issue (Lyubomir Grigorov)

Hello.
I suppose your alarmprogram is only doing "onbar -b -l" executions.

I suggest you to check your BAR_ACT_LOG file, for any errors that might be happening.

In case your archive backups are schedulled in DataProtector server, check the logs of the server. DP usually calls finderr to display a message in it's logs (even knowing that sql errors have nothing to do with onbar errors, it usually puts an error message description shown like an sql error).

The table of onbar errors is available through this page:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_12.1.0/com.ibm.bar.doc/ids_bar_447.htm?lang=en-us

A good example would be the error 152, which is (in onbar error table):
152
ON-Bar cannot
back up the logical logs.

And when it happens in HP DP, it is shown like this:
-152 ISAM error: Illegal message type received from remote process.

This internal error should not occur. Note all the details about the
network software in use and the version level of the database servers
in this and the other host system. If the error recurs, note all
circumstances and contact IBM Technical Support.

I hope this could give you some help. That might be your situation, check if the finderr.exe utility is also available for your backup user (in DP server).

Hope it helps.
Regards.
