NetBackup debug logs and reports
The NetBackup server and client software let you enable detailed debugging logs. The information in these log files can help you troubleshoot the problems that occur outside of either the database agent or RMAN.
Note the following with regard to these logs:
These logs do not reveal the errors that occur when RMAN is running unless those errors also affect NetBackup. Oracle may (or may not) write errors in the application to the NetBackup logs. Your best sources for Oracle error information are the logs provided by Oracle.
Generally, each debug log corresponds to a NetBackup process and executable.
However, for an RMAN backup, the debug log is created in the dbclient directory, which has no corresponding executable.
More detailed information about the debug log files is available.
See the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.
Also refer to the following file:
Windows:
install_path\NetBackup\logs\README.debug file
UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/README.debug file
NetBackup provides other reports that are useful in isolating problems. One such report is All Logs Entries on the server. Information on server reports is available.
