NetBackup™ for SAP Administrator's Guide

Enable the debug logs manually (SAP) (UNIX/Linux)

This topic describes how to manually create the directories that are used for debug logging. More information is available on how on how to use logs and reports.

See the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.

To enable the debug logs manually

  1. Create the following directories on the client:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpbkar
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bphdb
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/tar
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/backint

    For example:

    cd /usr/openv/netbackup/logs
    mkdir bphdb

  2. (Conditional) If you run NetBackup for SAP on Oracle with RMAN, create the following additional directory:
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/dbclient
  3. Verify that the user_ops directory, each of the log directories, and any subdirectories exist and are accessible for all applications to operate correctly.

    See About permissions for NetBackup for SAP log files (UNIX).

  4. Enable logging for the nbpem, nbjm, and nbrb scheduling processes that use unified logging.

    NetBackup writes unified logs to /usr/openv/logs.

    You do not need to create log directories for the processes that use unified logging.
