IC69886: SQL 2000 LOG BACKUPS FAIL WITH ACO5422E UNABLE TO GET LIST OF DATABASES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Log backups fail with ACO5422E Received the following from the
  MS SQL server: CSqlApi::GetSqlDatabaseNames:6861:1914 unable to
  get list of databaseslDatabaseNames:6861:1914
  This only affects SQL 2000.  A check of the select statement
  generated by the backup reveals the statement's construction
  is Select, From, Order By, Where.  This is a syntax error.  The
  Order By clause should come after Where.
  
  Initial Impact:  Low
  

Local fix

• Use a wild card in the name of the log file to be backed up.
  The Where clause will not be issued if there is a wild card
  in the name.  For example, where "tdpsqlc backup DEOBJP01 LOG"
  would fail, "tdpsqlc backup DEOBJP01* LOG" will succeed.
