Resolution: "omnimm" and "dbsm" are build as "EXEC_MAGIC" to enlarge the maximum process memory consumption up to 1.75 GB. Change Request: H555011800 Backup clients were checked for applications when validating Virtual Array clients. Resolution: Backup clients do not need to be checked for applications so this control is removed. Change Request: H555011906 Algorithm for sorting restores does not cover all cases. Resolution: Algorithm for sorting restores covers all cases. Change Request: H555012044 In case the Data Protector internal database (IDB) contains a lot of object versions, it can happen that Session Manager (SM) needs to send data in two or more messages. The problem is that the client (omnidb) closes the connection after receiving the first message. Resolution: Client now waits until SM closes the connection. Change Request: H555012157 Incorrect information about the role of an object size in load balancing. Resolution: Correct information is given regarding the role of an object size in load balancing. Change Request: H555012427 All OmniBack II processes started by the "OmniInet" and run under its account have its permissions. When the data is being restored, the operating system does not control whose data is being restored/overwritten and whether the user performing the restore has sufficient permissions to overwrite the data on the destination. Resolution: "Restore to new location", "Keep most recent" and "Overwrite" options are disabled for users that do not have "Restore as root" user right set. This is described in the Administrator's Guide -> Configuring Users and User Groups -> Data Protector User Rights -> Restore as root and Online Help. Change Request: H555012435 The "omnimm -list_pool" command does not calculate "Usable space" correctly. Resolution: "Usable space" is calculated as "Usable space = Blocks total - Blocks used (size of protected data)". Change Request: H555012597 Problems with non-aligned buffers. Resolution: The buffer alignment problem are fixed. Change Request: H555012866 The calculated number of weeks is larger than the actual number of weeks.

Resolution: Complete results are displayed. Change Request: H555011466 The GUI deletes "-concurrency 1" option from the NDMP backup specification when the media pool of a device is changed. Resolution: New condition is added for the NDMP backups, so the "-concurrency 1" option is not deleted. Change Request: H555011468 If the Lotus Domino integration session does not have any corresponding objects, the GUI stops collecting session information and outcasts all data already collected. Resolution: If the Lotus Domino integration session does not have any corresponding objects, the GUI skips it and continues collecting session information. Change Request: 8606296376 When e.g. disaster recovery for SAP is performed, each database needs to be manually checked for restore. This is not acceptable for SAP with a large number of databases. Resolution: All SAP databases can be selected for restore by selecting/checking only the highest tree view level. Change Request: 8606340386 Control for enabling Filter button does not handle templates properly. Control assumes that every handled object has a work list. That is true for backup specifications but not for templates. Resolution: Control for enabling Filter button changed to handle properly both backup specifications and templates (objects with and without worklists). PHSS_29419: Change Request: H555009725 Insufficient information regarding the "MaxMAperSM" global options variable in the Adminstrator's Guide and Release Notes. Resolution: Complemented the definition of the "MaxMAperSM" variable in the Administrator's Guide and Release Notes. Change Request: H555010008 StrLen function does not work properly with Japanese characters. Resolution: A new function LengthOfMessageSan is read instead StrLen. Change Request: H555010278 Log file(s) truncation process should not be started manually. It is an automatic process which is started after each transactional backup by an SQL server. Resolution: The description of "Remove inactive entries from transaction log" set of options is removed from the Windows Integration Guide, chapter Integrating MS SQL server 7.0/2000 and Data Protector, section Configuring the Integration. The description is also removed from the Online Help, F1 Help: Object Properties - MS SQL Object. Change Request: H555010368 User with privileges to restore files from other users can not restore private objects with command line tool omnir because not all conditions are checked. Resolution: Another condition is added: if user has right to "restore from other users" than continue with restore procedure. Change Request: H555010466 The buttons Excludes, Add and Filter on "Backup Object Summary" tag are enabled but they are not supported for NDMP datalists. Resolution: The buttons Excludes, Add and Filter on "Backup Object Summary" tag are disabled for NDMP datalists. Change Request: H555010619 Restore chain was not generated properly. Even if all sessions for restore are backed up as full, GUI creates restore chain on which all Objects depend on one another. Resolution: Restore chain is created in a way not to add dependency on a object for restore which was backed up as full. Change Request: H555010739 SchWeekDaytoDay function should not be called for some days if it is still the same year. Resolution: Function now handles such cases. Change Request: H555010788 OmniBack II does not compare hostnames properly. Resolution: "sanconf -list" command includes all hosts. Part of SSPUX500_034. Change Request: H555010812 When options "-drive_template" and "-library_template" is used, OmniBack II does not properly recognize options "VERIFY", "CLEANME", "RESCAN" for drive and "BARCODEREADER", "BUSYDRIVETOSLOT", "BUSYDRIVETOMAILSLOT" for library. Resolution: OmniBack II properly configures and updates library when options "-drive_template" and "-library_template" are used. Change Request: H555010853 GetLocaleInfo function returns False. Resolution: Default value added when function GetLocaleInfo returns False. Change Request: H555010863 When object name contains no "." wrong parameter is passed to StrNewCopy function. Resolution: Additional check for object name is added before calling StrNewCopy function. Change Request: 8606250477 Unix implementation of GUI uses underlying Wind/U - MFC implementation on Unix. Icon loading in Wind/U is very slow when every icon is stored in its own file. Resolution: All OmniBack II icons are grouped and stored together in a file. Now there are only few files, which contain all OmniBack II icons. This should speed up startup performance. Part of SSPUX500_054. Change Request: 8606312994 Man page for omnimcopy command incorrectly states that the copy will remain permanently protected regardless of the protection on the original tape. Resoultion: Incorrect statement is removed from the man page for the "omnimcopy" command line tool. PHSS_28738: Change Request: H555009430 Only device files of the format /dev/rmt/*mn are filtered in devlist_ux.c. Resolution: New environment variable OB2BROWSEALLDEVICES is introduced in '.omnirc' file. Possible values are 0 (default) and 1. If set to 1 the function will also browse the /dev/rmt/*n device files. Change Request: H555009862 The source of <basename> is not parsed. Resolution: The source of <basename> is parsed. Change Request: H555009877 Schedules with excluded days are interpreted incorrectly. Resolution: Schedule interpretation for excluded days is changed. Change Request: H555009880 Magstar 3590 is not supported in the Data Protector GUI. Resolution: Selection for media type T3590 is added in the OmniBack GUI. Part of SSPUX410_066.

Resolution: Frequency of Mount Request window timer is decreased. Change Request: H555010002 Some info about tape status is not displayed in the GUI. Resolution: Tape status info is added to data displayed in Media/Properties GUI context. Change Request: H555010015 Some standard functions (memcpy(), strchr()) do not work properly when converting messages on systems with Japanese localization. Resolution: Message manipulation functions have been improved in order to properly display messages in localized Japanese environment. Change Request: H555010038 Field for device name in output of command "omnirtp -report session_devices" is limited to 12 characters. Resolution: Number of characters is increased to 20. Change Request: H555010071 Windows XP operating system is not included in list of possible operating systems available for Disk Image backup. Resolution: Additional checking for Windows XP is added. Change Request: H555010138 "Free for allocation" option is not implemented correctly. Resolution: Formula for calculating "Free for allocation" option is properly adjusted. Change Request: H555010190 After a failover happens, one of the pointers points to NULL causing GUI to end abnormally. Resolution: NULL pointer control is improved. Change Request: H555010237 If the system has a large number of devices and the device, which is put as argument to omnimm, has a lock name, then not all devices are disabled. Device list is split in more parts and not all parts are searched for devices with the same lock name. Resolution: The search procedure is changed. PHSS_28331: Change Request: H555008639 Font used in the scheduler calendar control has incorrectly set locale information. Resolution: Font's locale information is correctly set. Change Request: H555008659 OmniBack II user, with only "Start backup specification" user right, is not able to change and save the schedule-time specification of a backup datalist. Resolution: New global variable "SaveScheduleAllowed" is added and it works in combination with "Start backup specification" user right. Default value is 0 and it is usual interface behavior. If value is set to 1, "SaveScheduleAllowed=1", during saving datalist error message is still displayed, but the schedule is saved. Change Request: H555008807 In split mirror environment with huge SAP databases it can happen that the size of the message buffer OmniBack II uses is too small to receive complete list of SAP files to be backed up. Resolution: Setting the OB2IPCBUFSIZE environment variable in the /opt/omni/.omnirc file on Cell Server, R1 and R2 hosts, specifying the desired amount of memory to be used for the buffer solves the described problem. Please read the following instructions and make sure that the patches listed in "Other Dependencies" section (see below) are installed and the environment variable is set on Cell Server, R1 and R2 systems before running the backup! How to determine the buffer size? --------------------------------- N_obj: number of objects (files) N_fs: number of file systems N_lvmvg: number of volume groups N_dg: number of disk groups N_rdsk: number of rawdisks Obj: Object Name ObjBack: Object Backup Name MntPathLen: Path name on backup (R2) host (example: /var/opt/omni/tmp/App_host) fsmnt: File System Mount Point fsdev: File System Device File (example: /dev/dsk/[c0t1d1,lvol1]) vg: Volume group (ex: /dev/vg01) dg: Disk group (VxVM) - dependence on mapfile which is required for creating disk group (example:/dev/vx/dsk/dg01) rdsk: Raw disk file name (example: /dev/rdsk/c1t1d1) AvgLen_<xxx> average length of <xxx> There are two different buffers used: 1. BSM <-> R1 2. R1 <-> R2 Calculating the BSM <-> R1 buffer size -------------------------------------- MsgSize_BSM_R1 = N_obj * (AvgLen_Obj + 1 + MntPathLen) Calculating the R1 <-> R2 buffer size ------------------------------------- MsgSize_R1_R2 = N_obj*(AvgLen_Obj+1+AvgLen_ObjBack) + N_fs*(AvgLen_fsmnt*2 + MntPathLen + AvgLen_fsdev*2)+ N_lvmvg*(AvgLen_vg*2) + N_dg*(AvgLen_dg*2) + N_rdsk*(AvgLen_rdsk*2) Calculating the OB2IPCBUFSIZE value ----------------------------------- OB2IPCBUFSIZE > max (MsgSize_BSM_R1, MsgSize_R1_R2) RESTORE NOTE: ------------- If restore is started using the sapbda utility, the variable OB2IPCBUFSIZE must be exported to environment prior to starting sapbda. Known problems: --------------- If the calculated variable OB2IPCBUFSIZE is correctly set, but is still too small for the file list to fit into the message buffer, the session will fail with the following error seen in the report: BR295I Splitting mirror disks... BR280I Time stamp <time> BR279E Return code from '/opt/omni/lbin/ob2smbsplit /<sap_homedir_path>/.<filename>.lst': 2 BR299E Split/resynchronization of mirror disks failed In this case the variable OB2IPCBUFSIZE must be recalculated to appropriate value. See above how to determine it. Part of SSPUX410_033. Change Request: H555009022 Report for original medium does not contain barcode information. Resolution: Barcode information is correctly displayed. Change Request: H555009033 Lotus object versions are not correctly stored in the Internal Database which prevents GUI to find them. Resolution: Record structure containing information about the Lotus object versions is changed. Change Request: H555009064 The length of database session messages in Japanese version of OmniBack II is incorrectly determined. Resolution: New function was added to determine the message length. Change Request: H555009111 OmniBack II calls FormatMessage function with two instead of three parameters that accesses uninitialized memory. Resolution: Third parameter is added. Change Request: H555009147 Instead of Instant Recovery context GUI randomly initializes some other context. When Cell Manager is configured for XP, everything works properly. Resolution: Instant Recovery context is unconditionally initialized. Change Request: H555009228 Pre/post-exec script hosts selection does not contain the appropriate hosts when creating a NDMP datalist. Resolution: NDMP pre/post-exec script host selection is corrected to display the appropriate hosts. Change Request: H555009286 When Recycling or exporting original medium from OmniBack II database purge deletes Detail Catalog Binary Files (DCBF) even if the copy medium is still protected in the OmniBack II database. In addition importing catalog from copy is not possible. Resolution: Catalog import from copy medium is possible. Part of SSPUX410_053. Change Request: H555009339 When object version is changed, all tree sub items are marked again and all excludes are deleted. Resolution: All explicit excludes are left in restore tree after changing object version. Change Request: H555009404 DbgPlain function is called with wrong string format. Resolution: String format for DbgPlain() is corrected. Change Request: H555009570 There was not blank string in the "On-Client" combo box. Resolution: Blank string is added to combo box context and handling with this option is added to the algorithm for making a data list. Change Request: 8606254802 From OmniBack II A.04.00 onwards, 'BalanceNone' is obsoleted and changed to 'BalanceLoad'. Resolution: 'BalanceNone' option for SAP integration is implemented again in GUI. PHSS_27587: Change Request: H555007372 MS SQL backup using Fast Direct mode results as "proper backup", but there are too many messages. Resolution: Only one message of type: "[Normal] From: BMA@<hostname> "<device_name>" Time: <dd.mm.yy hh:mm:ss> Memory copy mode activated." per Backup Media Agent (BMA) is displayed. Change Request: H555007993 In case that "st_san_safe" kernel parameter is enabled, system cannot work with 'rewind on close' devices. So "devbra" is returning devices which are not usable. Resolution: "devbra" is changed in order to return 'non-rewind on close' devices. Change Request: H555008476 GUI does not check on which host Oracle7 database is backed up and all backup versions are appended to the first one found. Resolution: Host matching and object version adding to list is improved. Change Request: H555008624 Problem occurs when there are a lot of sessions or when there are a lot of tree nodes in scoping pane. Resolution: Tree control in scoping pane is dynamically collapsed before context is switched. Part of SSPUX410_034 Change Request: H555008636 GUI reports incorrect statistics for DCBF directory. Resolution: GUI is improved in order to report correct statistics for DCBF directory. Change Request: H555008657 Incorrect indirection operator is used. Resolution: Indirection operator is used correctly. Change Request: B555014660 Devbra and sanconf are limited to 10 character serial numbers only. When there are devices with 12 digit SN detected, devbra truncates the last two digits. As a result, several physical devices are then treated as one and the same device. Resolution: Devbra is using all digits of the device SN to distinguish between devices. Part of SSPUX410_040. Change Request: H555008700 List of clients residing in the destination cell server is not updated. Resolution: List of clients residing in the destination cell server is now properly updated. Change Request: H555008715 After installation of SSPUX410_024 or SSPUX410_029, GUI goes into infinite loop when view is clicked in main menu. Resolution: Additional activation checking is added in users context. Change Request: H555008752 During second initialization of combo box an error occurs while retrieving datalist and leaving the rest of the fields uninitialized. Resolution: Fields on notification page do not disappear after switching contexts. Change Request: H555008754 OmniBack II does not properly create list of sessions for used media in selected timeframe. Resolution: "Extended report on used media" report is removed from reporting. Change Request: H555008755 GUI never looks for the new 1TB XP license, but always looks for the old XP standard license. The same is with the new 1TB EMC license. Resolution: GUI also looks for the new 1TB EMC and 1TB XP licenses. Change Request: H555008757 The cause for the error message is refreshing of media tab. While refreshing it tries to retrieve object versions of subfolders, which were not clicked, hence not initialized. Resolution: GUI now searches only folders which have object versions initialized. Change Request: H555008779 Script can be run from anywhere because omnirpt does not check the global options file. Resolution: Omnirpt was changed and now it checks the global options file for ExternalScriptMode entry. Change Request: H555008803 GUI expects "start backup" instead of "monitor" user rights for starting Database context GUI. Resolution: GUI now checks "monitor" user rights for showing /Tools/Database Administration menu item. Change Request: H555008849 OmniBack II GUI abnormally ends on exit, when there are two "Schedule" tabs opened at a time. Resolution: OmniBack II GUI ends normally. Change Request: H555008927 Barlists are members of a group which is not displayed under reporting group in GUI Reporting. Resolution: Barlists are moved to a group that is displayed in GUI. Change Request: 8606245960 GUI is not able to handle nested mount points. When GUI receives excluded directory from datalist file it assumes that the part of the string between first and second slash represents mount point. Besides this, mount point is shown in GUI as a mountpoint and as directory. Resolution: GUI is aware of nested mountpoints. Change Request: 8606263614 Even though session selected for restore is not the last one, GUI will pick the latest version of file for restore. Resolution: Version selection mechanism is fixed. Change Request: 8606271949 "omnidb" options "-msese" and "-msexchange" do not show MS Exchange 2000 objects. Resolution: New "omnidb -msese" option is implemented. PHSS_26877: Change Request: H555006839 Restore Session Manager in integration protocol is changed and omnir is not updated correctly. Resolution: omnir is corrected. Change Request: H555007485 After using CLI command omnimm -chkfreemedia inappropriate messages are logged in the debug.log file. Resolution: Inappropriate messages are no longer logged in the debug.log file. Change Request: H555007518 Description and Location fields in the Select Media dialog box do not allow wildcards. Resolution: Description and Location fields in the Select Media dialog box now support wildcards. Change Request: H555007519 Message handler for device medium object does not parse MS_GETTEXT message correctly. Therefore pre-allocation list does not display all the data. Resolution: Message parsing in device medium object improved. Change Request: H555007546 "Point in time restore" restore option of Transaction log backup in OmniBack II MSSQL integration is not limited. Resolution: "Point in time restore" restore option is limited by the backups. The maximum time is limited by start of backup session selected for restore. The minimum time is limited by first previous full or differential backup. Change Request: H555007591 Insufficient amount of memory is allocated. Resolution: Enough memory is allocated. Change Request: H555007697 Change device option is not working in host restore mode. Resolution: Code is corrected. Change Request: H555007748 OmniBack II SSEA integration option "Keep Version available for Instant Restore" for Continuous Access XP and Combined (Continuous Access XP + Business Copy XP) is not supported, but is selectable. Resolution: Option "Keep Version available for Instant Restore" for other than Business Copy XP is grayed out. Change Request: H555007752 The array that holds the objects of datalist is too small. Resolution: The array is increased. Change Request: H555008049 CDE text default color is white. OmniBack II has white background so text is not readable. Resolution: Instead of button text we now use info text for tabs, which is black. Change Request: 8606223711 This page is outdated. It must be labeled 'eCare Support' and it must point to: http://support.openview.hp.com/support.jsp?FromPROD =ob_4_1 Resolution: Label and links are fixed. Change Request: B555013242 At startup time all contexts/dlls are loaded. On UX systems this needs ~2 seconds for each. On top of that, ReadSubTree() is performed 3 times for each context. Resolution: Usually administrator does not need all contexts from the start. It is enough to first load database, monitor, and backup. dlls for other contexts are only loaded when the context is accessed during GUI session. Change Request: H555008004 GUI does not check if instance is already configured. Resolution: GUI checks if instance is already configured. Change Request: H555008020 "Restore to another instance" combo box for displaying instances installed on SQL Server 2000 is missing. Resolution: "Restore to another instance" combo box is added. Change Request: H555008431 MOM GUI is not aware of users and the result is "Not Available" message in results area. Resolution: MOM GUI correctly displays users. Part of SSPUX410_024. Change Request: H555008510 If SAP host is selected in restore context, number of objects is correct, but first object is displayed for every object. Cause for the problem is definition of variable mount. Resolution: Value of mount is not initialized but assigned. Change Request: H555008511 Data protection value is improperly calculated. Resolution: Data protection calculation is improved. Change Request: H555008559 OBII 4.x GUI reparsed RMAN script and incorrectly recomposes it. Resolution: RMAN script parsing can be disabled by specifying the following global variable: NoGUIRMANScriptParsing=1 Part of SSPUX410_029. PHSS_26341: Change Request: H555006778 When restoring Oracle7 tablespace that is backed up on one backup host to another target Oracle client, the Restore Session Manager copies the rcs file to the backup host instead of target host. Resolution: The rcs files are properly restored to the target host. Change Request: H555006875 Files which are grayed out in GUI are excluded with option -exclude. Since the number of '-exclude' options is limited, this can cause restore to fail. Resolution: Handling of excluded files is changed. Change Request: H555006893 In next year the same date is not the same day in week. Scheduled dates after one year are just copied, so backups are scheduled on wrong days. Resolution: Days are correctly moved to next year. Change Request: H555006942 Any attempt to establish connection to OmniBack II A.04.00 Cell Manager from OmniBack II A.04.10 GUI, when having no permissions to do so, results in core dump of OmniBack II A.04.10 GUI. Resolution: Message "No permission" is displayed when one tries to connect to a system where one does not have sufficient permissions. Part of SSPUX410_004. Change Request: H555007048 GUI incorrectly determines which SQL objects has already been added to SQL restore and which not. Consequently GUI may display no objects at all, though omnidb shows objects or the same object several times. Resolution: GUI now correctly determines which SQL objects have to be added to restore tree. Change Request: 8606226389 The Release Notes state that compression is not supported for any of the database integrations. Resolution: The Compress option in GUI is disabled. Change Request: H555007125 Printing is not possible due to missing windu xprinter directory and *.drv files in OmniBack II installation. Resolution: Files are copied to the correct location. Change Request: H555007211 GUI expects Windows Installation Server for Linux client. However the right one is UNIX Installation Server. Resolution: Checking is improved with new macro for GUI. Change Request: H555007218 Selecting files for restore within interval that does not include the full backup will trigger an error in the list_full_rest_chain function. Resolution: The function marks an error and sends it to GUI, which will show a message: "You have chosen an interval which does not include all the sessions needed to compose a full restore chain. Please reconnect to the Cell Server". Change Request: H555007294 When adding new device in GUI and device type is changed to SCSI library in first step of wizard, data format is not changed to interface type. Resolution: Window is invalidated and updated. Change Request: H555007472 Split pre-exec and post-exec scripts working with the EMC integration are disabled. Resolution: Split pre-exec and post-exec scripts working with the EMC integration are enabled again. Change Request: 8606233574 OmniBack II uses '#' character for internal parsing. Resolution: Code is changed. New character <alt + 178> is used for OmniBack II internal parsing. Change Request: H555006818 In case that object has large number of messages, GUI crashes during message check. Resolution: GUI is improved in order not to crash. Change Request: H555006752 During client upgrade it is not possible to automatically select all the hosts for the same Installation Server. Resolution: GUI is improved.
