BEWS 12.5 queueing of DBA-initiated jobs
Supposing I have a few dozen regular backup jobs that run every night to our 4-drive tape library while the servers are relatively idle, and then I need to run a DBA-initiated Oracle backup job also late at night, how does queueing work? Will the DBA-initiated job simply fail due to lack of an available drive, or will it queue up cleanly with the regular jobs?
I assume that by DBA-initiated jobs, you mean jobs that are initiated by the Oracle DBA and not by BE. If this is so and the Oracle jobs are initiated after the BE are running, then they would find that the tape library is held by BE. Their reaction will depend on how they handle the situation where they do not have anything to write to.
