Environment
Reload (all version)
Situation
Where are the dbcopy log files stored?
Reload will place the last 10 lines of the dbcopy logs into the agent log; however, this leaves out a lot of information that could be helpful when troubleshooting a backup that isn't working properly.
Resolution
There are dbcopy log files for the backup process of USER*.DB, MSG*.DB, and OFFILES. Each of the dbcopy logs are saved in separate directories. The filenames are mmddgwbk.00n (i.e., 0522gwbk.001, 0522gwbk.002, etc.).
The location of the dbcopy log files AFTER a backup has completed (and these are also in the portable directories):
OFUSER: ../<profile dir>/backups/weeknow/<day of week>/gre_data/dbcopy_logs/dbs/ofuser/
OFMSG: ../<profile dir>/backups/weeknow/<day of week>/gre_data/dbcopy_logs/dbs/ofmsg/
OFFILES: ../<profile dir>/blobs/b2 (single BLOBS thread)
OFFILES: ../<profile dir>/blobs/b5 - b14 (multiple BLOBS threads)
The location of the dbcopy log files DURING a backup job (especially helpful if a backup job is stalling):
OFUSER: ../<profile dir>/backups/creating/3The location of the dbcopy log files during a MIGRATION job:
OFMSG: ../<profile dir>/backups/creating/4
OFFILES: ../<profile dir>/blobs/b2 (single BLOBS thread)
OFFILES: ../<profile dir>/blobs/b5 - b14 (multiple BLOBS threads)
