Netbackup Windows client Oracle lock files

Hi, on windows client, we backup an Oracle DB with catalog. It's backup about 1,6Tb and last week i found two of four jobs still writing but hanging. I've stopped the backup, and on ..\user_ops\dbex...

My suggestions:

  • Stop all Netbackup processes
  • Cancel remaining processes running - if any. I have seen bpbkar hang from time to time when resources on the client was low. Rman may hang as well - or may appear hanging if the recover catalogue isn't bein maintained,
  • Delete lock files.  

I don't recall leftover lock files will prevent new backups.

Hi Nicolai,
i've executed your steps but if i try to delete lock files, it's not permitted and i receive this message: "The action can't be completed because the file is open in OracleService"

 

Thanks & Regards,
