After rehosting a Prinergy server, Oracle Backup fails with Python errors


Product

  Prinergy Connect 2.1 ; Prinergy Direct 2.1 ; Prinergy Access 2.1 ; Prinergy Powerpack 2.1

Platform

 

Intel

Operating system

 

Windows 2000


Error

 

Oracle backup processing ended for unexpected reasons. Contact the Response Center. There may be insufficient disk space for the backup files. If so, please free up some space, otherwise next backup will fail again.

Executing C:\Ora816\Creo\Util\UnSuccessfulBackup.cmd

Error: exceptions.SystemExit, 1, <traceback object at e133b8> traceback: Exception in process 2196, thread 2076

Traceback (innermost last):

File "C:\Prinergy2.0.4\lib\Python\com\creo\araxi\database\BackupDatabase.py", line 652, in backupOracle

sys.exit(1)

exceptions.SystemExit: 1


Symptoms

 

The system was rehosted onto new hardware. The Oracle software installation folder on the new server is different than the old server. (Normally Oracle is installed in the ORA816 folder.)

The database backups fail with a generic error message as shown.


Cause

  RMAN saves a copy of the control file which is called a snapshot control file. The location defaults to the %ORACLEHOME%\Database folder, but once an initial snapshot controlfile is created, RMAN will always write the snapshot controlfile to the same location. (RMAN does not update it if the Oracle installation folder changes).

Solution

 

You must manually change the location of the snapshot controlfile.

1) Start RMAN.

- D:\> RMAN TARGET INTERNAL/CREO@ARAXIDBSERVER NOCATALOG

2) Change the location of the snapshot controlfile.

- RMAN> SET SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'D:\ORA816\DATABASE\SNCFCREO.ORA';

- RMAN> EXIT

3) Run a test backup using OracleBackupManager.

- D:\> ORACLEBACKUPMANAGER

- Araxi_OracleMgr> BACKUP DATABASE

Permanent fix:
