Hi All, I have configured backint for backup of maxdb for content server 640. I configured it as per the documents available, created the configuration fiale and the parameter file. Created the backup medium in dbmgui. Now when i try to run the backup using the pipe am getting the above mentioned error. Please find below the dbm.ebp log for the same...

Removed Backint for MaxDB's temporary error output file '/tmp/backint4sapdbC FC.err'. Removed the Backint for MaxDB input file '/tmp/backint4sapdbCFC.in'. Have finished clean up successfully.

Also, is there any specification about the user permissions and about how the backup should be run?

Hi Krishna,

nobody (well, at least not I ) wants to wade through this mess of log messages produced from your input by the faboulous forum software.

As far as I read you're an SAP customer- Please open a support message for this issue, so that we can actually read the log files in a sensible way.

thanks and regards,

Lars

Hi Lars,

I understand that its a clumpsy over here, but i already have raised an OSS message and SAP said, that they cannot support this issue with backint. If you can provide me with an email id, i can send you the log files which would be easy to read.

My issue is that am not able run backup for maxdb of content server 640 using the backint tool.

I have created the configuration file and the parameter file as per the specifications from http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/a9/8a1ef21e4b402bb76ff75bb559a98a/content.htm and http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/50/075205962843f69b9ec41f34427be7/content.htm.

THe server is registered to the TSM server. Now when i run the wizard to take the backup using the backint tool, it gives the error "Begin of output of Backint for MaxDB (/tmp/backint4sapdbCFC.out)- -

I think this should be fine to read...

Well, I do work on OSS messages, I do work on forum requests but I DON'T work on email requests.

This would give me the total overkill ...

But from what you've posted I saw this message:

> BKI0008E: The environment variable BI_CALLER is not set correctely. The current value is "DBMSRV"

Since this value looks fine to me it may be a good idea to ask the support from TIVOLI what they think is wrong with this.

Lars
