I am horrified reading this :
'.... deleting an re-creacting the database...'
Where did you read this? Hopefully you have done none of this?
Has the Catalog backup worked before? If so, you need to find out what has changed.
Are any 'child streams' started or is it the parent job that fails right away without any child jobs?
Please show us current policy config:
bppllist <policy-name> -U
Hello Marianne,
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
Please find the output of the bppllist command for the catalog-bkup that's failing.
Again, many thank your time and assistance.
