Finding out the file history of oracle client

[DPO]

I tried to execute the below command from my master server. But I was getting the error. I know we need to supply the directories to search. But I want to run this command for a oracle database server in order to find out what databases have been backed up. Can someone help me ?

E:\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>bplist -C < Oracle client>
EXIT STATUS 227: no entity was found

But the above command works fine with normal windows, linux clients.

Add command switch "-t 4" for Oracle policy type and see if that helps.  Default (0/Standard for UNIX, 13/MS-Windows for Windows) wouldn't work for you if you're not also performing Standard/MS-Windows policy type backups on those clients - and probably wouldn't return the results you want even if you were.

Check the Commands guide for other command line switches (you didn't mention which version of NetBackup so I'm not sure which manual to link!)

In addtion to '-t 4', try to add some more parameters:

(extract from NBU for Oracle Guide - client name jupiter)
bplist -C jupiter -t 4 -R /

To search for date range (e.g. 1 July - 12 Sept):
bplist -C jupiter -t 4 -s 07/01/2012 -e 09/12/2012 -R /
