IBM Storage Protect Snapshot for Oracle miscellaneous errors

Edit online

Certain unique errors might occur when you use IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot for native Oracle.

If you receive the following errors:
IBM Storage Protect Snapshot fails on the backup server in DBCS locales when the datafile or the path to the datafile contains a DBCS name.
This error is an Oracle problem that was reported to the Oracle development team. The Oracle Technical Assistance Request (TAR) number for this problem is 2367962.999.
The following procedure provides a workaround until the problem is resolved by Oracle:
  1. Take the table space that contains the DBCS name in its datafile or the path to its datafile offline.
  2. If the DBCS name is in the datafile, rename the DBCS datafile to an English name. If the DBCS name is in the path to the datafile, move the datafile to a path with an English name.
  3. Log in to the Server Manager and issue the following command: 
    ALTER TABLESPACE <dbcs_tablespace_name> RENAME DATAFILE
'dbcs_path/dbcs_datafile' TO 'english_path/english_datafile';
  4. Bring the table space online.
  5. Delete the DBCS datafile if necessary.
Although IBM Storage Protect Snapshot supports table spaces that are named with DBCS, datafiles or paths to the datafiles that contain DBCS must be renamed to English before running IBM Storage Protect Snapshot.
