Defect Description:
	PHSS_23470:
	Id = JAGad36093
	    If one of the agent fails session status should
	    indicate "Completed/Errors" instead of "Completed".

	Resolution:
	    Session status is correct.

	    Part of SSPUX350_027.

	Id = NSMbb37729
	    Database Session Manager starts Device Browser with
	    incorrect options.

	Resolution:
	    Structure containing Device Browser options is
	    initialized before it is filled with the parameters.

	Id = NSMex03425
	    Backup of SAP archive logs fails if a backup request
	    for next archive log comes when Backup Session Manager
	    is already exiting.

	Resolution:
	    Datalist entries for BAR session are removed.

	Id = NSMex03621
	    When restoring the data from STK or GRAU library,
	    wrong medium is loaded into drive after the mount
	    request confirmation.

	Resolution:
	    Mount request is properly handled.

	Id = NSMex03701
	    Backing up Informix Parallel Server with many
	    datafiles where request is coming from the node
	    that is not specified in Informix backup
	    specification results in many warning messages reported
	    during the session.

	Resolution:
	    New global option InformixparallelBackupIgnoreWarning
	    is added. Warnings are ignored if this option is set
	    to 1. Default value is 0.

	Id = NSMex03711
	    Licensing is not working properly for systems with
	    more than 20 lan cards, due to an OmniBack limitation.

	Resolution:
	    Number of lan cards on a single system can be up to 100.

	Id = NSMex03739
	    Pre- and post-exec scripts return invalid exit status
	    because of timing problem.

	Resolution:
	    Environment variable OB2EXECTIMEOUT is introduced.
	    Variable represents timeout (in seconds) after the end
	    of pre- and post-exec script. Default value is 0.
	    Recommended value is between 5 and 10 seconds.

	Id = NSMex03847
	    New Media Class, 9840, is introduced with A.03.50
	    release. This caused that some of previously created
	    devices did not work with OmniBack II 3.50.

	Resolution:
	    New utility, mchange, changes media class for a pool
	    and for all devices that use the particular pool.
	    Usage of mchange is:

	      mchange -version | -help
	      mchange -pool PoolName -newtype NewMediaClass

	    For more details and recommendations please see
	    Special Installation Instructions.

	Id = NSMex03894
	    OmniBack II has a 600 mountpoints limitation. Host
	    backup fails if there are more than 600 mountpoints.

	Resolution:
	    Number of mountpoints per host increased to 50000.

	Id = NSMex03910
	    Major messages are not checked by Backup Session
	    Manager.

	Resolution:

	Id = NSMex03917
	    If "omnidbutil -cdbsync" command is started in
	    Service Guard environment, some objects disappear

	    environment.

	    Part of SSPUX350_026.

	Id = NSMex03991
	    Backup Session Manager incorrectly appends full
	    Oracle backups.

	Resolution:
	    Backup Session Manager correctly checks properties
	    of pool.

	Id = NSMbb38972
	    omnitrig does not support MS Exchange 2000 integration.

	Resolution:
	    Scheduled MS Exchange 2000 backups are properly
	    started.

	    Part of SSPUX350_020.

	Id = NSMex03246
	    Normal, Warning and Minor messages can be seen on ITO
	    Management server even though OVfilter is set up to
	    forward only Critical messages.

	Resolution:
	    Messages are forwarded according to OVfilter setup.

	Id = NSMex04159
	    When Backup Session Manager waits for the next client it
	    disables new client connections.

	Resolution:
	    Proper previously failed session is restarted.

	Id = NSMex04261
	    Import of integration session fails if the session is
	    spanned over two or more media.

	Resolution:
	    Checking for object description is changed.

	PHSS_23105:
	Id = NSMex03757
	    Performance degrated by up to 50% after upgrade from
	    OmniBack II 2.55 or 3.00.

	Resolution:
	    Redundant update of the objects removed.

	    Part of SSPUX350_023.

	Id = NSMex03977
	    Listing of objects failed for the objects that have
	    been purged from the database, because there is no
	    link between objects and object versions.

	Resolution:
	    Fix is implemented in libob2ecbd.sl.

	PHSS_22369:
	Id = JAGad13634
	    File /opt/omni/sbin/nb_informix is missing.

	Resolution:
	    File /opt/omni/sbin/nb_informix is added to OMNI-CS
	    fileset.

	Id = JAGad17029
	    Using "List from media" option in restore context
	    ignores "See private objects" option. Objects that are
	    backed up as "Private" are not listed.

	Resolution:
	    Option parsing in restore context is improved.

	Id = NSMex03356
	    If there are more than 100 network interfaces, ioctl()
	    call fails.

	Resolution:
	    Buffer for SIOCGIFCONF is increased to support up to
	    1000 network interfaces.

	Id = NSMex03365
	    When backup and file search sessions are started in
	    parallel, file search session locks the database.
	    Backup Session Manager tries to write backup
	    information into locked database. Since this action can
	    not be performed, the following messages are logged
	    in the rds.log:

	      "11740  [10-Apr-00 17:37:07]  error status=5
	       11741  [10-Apr-00 17:37:07]  GROUPLOCK ELEMENT:
	        userID=4, LockType=6, LockMode= *, RecSetType=10002,
	        dba=[0:0], odnum=1"

	Resolution:
	    File pattern search is optimized to minimize the
	    possibilities of group locks.

	Id = NSMex03419
	    OmniBack II 3.50 objects are case insensitive which is
	    not true for the SAP objects backed up with 2.55
	    version. Object tape format is changed with 3.50 as
	    well. These changes caused some SAP objects not to be
	    displayed in the Restore GUI after importing the tape
	    with SAP objects from 2.55 to 3.50.

	Resolution:
	    Object names from tape are converted into OmniBack II
	    3.50 format after tape import from 2.55.

	Id = NSMex03466
	    System name checking is not performed for systems with
	    multiple LAN cards. Backup Session Manager is checking
	    the system names only when looking for clusters.

	Resolution:
	    System name checking is performed when looking for
	    clusters and systems with multiple LAN cards.

	Id = NSMex03481
	    Aborting backup session is not possible because
	    Backup Session Manager incorrectly aborts Disk Agents
	    after the package switch.

	Resolution:
	    Disk Agents are properly aborted.

	Id = NSMex03491, JAGad28516
	    In host backup only mount point directories can be
	    excluded. If a directory is not a mount point then it
	    cannot be excluded from the backup.

	Resolution:
	    Non-mountpoint directories can now be excluded.

	Id = NSMex03493
	    Scheduled reports are not started with "-debug" option
	    although omnitrig is.

	Resolution:
	    Command line option passing is implemented for omnirpt.

	Id = NSMex03583, NSMex03631
	    Mount request is not properly implemented for SCSI-II
	    changer devices.

	Resolution:
	    OmniBack II properly handles mount requests.

	Id = NSMex03638
	    Option "-change_objname" is not meant to be a part of
	    OmniBack II A.03.50.

	Resolution:
	    Option "-change_objname" is removed.

	Id = NSMex03501
	    After upgrading OmniBack ServiceGuard package from
	    3.00 to 3.50, it is not possible to list media due to
	    incorrect ownership of medium.

	Resolution:
	    Virtual hostname is used for medium ownership.

	    Part of SSPUX350_001.

	Id = NSMex03683
	    Copy session is aborted when copying a write-protected
	    tape. When write-protected tape in the source drive is
	    checked, the cleaning tape for that drive is requested
	    and the following message appears:

	      "Cleaning tape requested by device <device_name>.
	       Please clean the drive.".

	Resolution:
	    The cleanme signal is now processed correctly.

	    Part of SSPUX350_004.

	Id = NSMex02584
	    Execution of command

	      "omnidb -filesystem <FS_Object> -file <File_Name>"

	    causes a memory leak in RDS (approx. 300 bytes). If the
	    command is started more than 100000 times, it can cause
	    RDS to die due to a lack of memory.

	Resolution:
	    Fix is implemented in libob2ecdb.sl.

	    Part of SSPUX350_006.

	Id = NSMex03702
	    RDS dies during a large SAP restore due to memory leak
	    described in NSMex02584.

	Resolution:
	    Fix is implemented in libob2ecbd.sl.

	    Part of SSPUX350_006.

	Id = NSMex03289
	    Media sync does not work properly when table of
	    exported/recycled media gets too big (>3000 media).
	    Some new sessions dissapear from database. No error is
	    reported.

	Resolution:
	    Improved error handling logs this event in debug.log.

	    Part of SSPUX350_003.

	Id = NSMex03521
	    Database stays in the hot mode after issuing an
	    "omnidbcheck" command. If a large amount of data is
	    written before OmniBack II daemons are stopped, it can
	    happen that hot files are not properly flushed. This
	    causes corruption of database.

	Resolution:
	    omnidbcheck flushes hot files immediately after
	    database check.

	    Part of SSPUX350_003.

	Id = NSMex03737
	    Media Session Manager is incorrectly initializing media
	    in ServiceGuard environment. Owner of medium is set to
	    hostname of the active node. This results in wrong
	    medium handling and objects from such medium are
	    removed from the OmniBack II database each time Media
	    Session Manager is started.

	Resolution:
	    Initialization of media in ServiceGuard environment
	    is improved.

	    Please see Special Installation Instructions.

	    Part of SSPUX350_010.

	Id = NSMex03758, NSMex03759, NSMex03646
	    OmniBack II reports an error:

	      "Database is probably corrupt."

	    for backup sessions that span over two or more media
	    if one of them is already overwritten/exported because
	    then some of the objects are already removed from the
	    database.

	Resolution:
	    Removed objects are skipped during the database queries.

	    Part of SSPUX350_010.

	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_23470.depot

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_23470.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
	named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

	         patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	It is recommended that you move the PHSS_23470.text file to
	/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHSS_23470.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
