Verifying the RMAN setup on Windows

Edit online

Verify that the RMAN interface is set up correctly in a Windows™ environment by looking at the sbtio.log log file.

Procedure

  1. After an operation that uses RMAN, examine the sbtio.log in the directory that is specified in the user_dump_dest keyword within the Oracle profile initSID.ora. If the sbtio.log file does not exist or there is no line beginning with the letters BKI within an existing sbtio.log, follow these steps:
    1. Check whether the shared library file orasbt.dll was found and loaded by Oracle.
    2. Put the shared library file orasbt.dll into the directory %ORACLE_HOME%\bin. This directory is where oracle.exe is in.
    3. Stop the service OracleServiceSID and restart it.
  2. Examine the dsierror.log in the directory that is specified with the environment variable DSMI_LOG.
  3. To create a IBM Storage Protect™ API trace file, set the following entries in the client options file: tracefile drive:\path\<trace file> traceflags api
