Failed_copies purge
Note:-
This purge is available by default on DP 6.1, but for DP 5.5 and 6.0 it
requires the following patches or their successor.
Windows HP-UX PA Risc HP-UX IA 64
Data Protector 5.5 DPWIN_00396 PHSS_38726 PHSS_38727
Data Protector 6.0 DPWIN_00385 PHSS_38404 PHSS_38405
In certain circumstances a DP IDB may hold multiple copies of objects made during a backup. These
unrequired copies may overload an IDB. A special purge omnidbutil -purge_failed_copies
removes any copy of objects that are not required.
The preceding patches include two functions with respect to these multiple unrequired copies of
objects, they allow the running of omnidbutil -purge_failed_copies and the correct the
behavior that caused the multiple copies of objects. For these reasons once this command has been
run it should rarely need repeating.
The command requires exclusive access to the IDB so can only be run when no backups are running
and all GUIs are closed.
When run, this purge updates the RDS.log file.
• On Windows the RDS.log file is, by default,
C:\Program Files\OmniBack\db40\datafiles\catalog
• On HP-UX the debug.log file is: /var/opt/omni/log
