Wa have a SAN server, being a client and a media server at same time. Backups are either the system file backups, initialted by the master server and client-initiated Oracle backup via RMAN.
The log file directory bpbkar has been created and contain a log for every day.
In the log file, I can only find log data for the file system backups, none for the Oracle RMAn initiated backups.
RMAn backups are the only one initiated by the client. All other are created by the master server scheduler.
Is the fact that I can't see the log for RMAN backups linked to the way Oracle RMAn works, or because it is a client initiated backup ?
Is it possible to add the log data in the log file ?

create the directory bphdb and dbclient in the logs directory

-log for the DB2 Extension clients
dbclient
-log for the DB Extension clients

Yes. bpbkar is for file-level backups only.
Logging for Oracle backups is described in NetBackup for Oracle Administrator's Guide in Troubleshooting section.
Most important log is dbclient (there is a list in the manual - best to have them all).
Another important fact about agent logs is that the (Oracle) user that runs the backup must have write permission to the log folders.
You will see that the manual says to run 'chmod 777 <folder-name>'

or in Simple words..
bpbkar log only capture the log of FS backups.. not DB backups..
for DB backups, respective DB log directoreis needs to created as mectioned by Nicolai.

Thanks for the data. I will implement that next week.

Thanks for the very quick and complete answer.

No please - you have not solved your own query.
Please clear the solution for your own post and mark Solution for a post that has answered your query.
My suggestion is that you mark Nicolai's post.
