NetBackup status code: 109

Message: invalid date specified

Explanation: This error can occur when you run a command on the command line that contains a date option. The format of a date option can vary depending on the locale of the master server.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • If the error occurred on a command line, examine the standard error output from the command for an explanatory message.

  • Refer to the format for the date options in the usage statement for the command. Look up the locale of the master server. Compare the date format of that locale with the date format on the usage statement for the command.

  • Check the NetBackup Problems report for clues.

  • If the error appears in a Java interface, enable the debug print manager in the Java startup file. Retry and compare the parameters that are logged in the Java log with the parameters listed in the command's usage statement.

  • If these actions do not reveal the problem, create a debug log directory for the process that returned this status code. Then retry the operation and check the resulting debug log.

  • If the error appears in the web UI while performing a Microsoft SQL Server restore, review the date provided. The date must be in ISO 8601 format.
