hello...

i have already done all the recommendations ..

and i have successfully changed the NDMP port number to another free port number that is not used by other network services....

i still can't backup the database... but i can backup the linux directories...

when i try to backup the database tables it gives me the cridintial error message and the job fails 

Hi,

The server name added/listed in database access configuration of AgentConfig should exactly match the server name added in the server list on Backup Exec server. Snapshot 1 and 3 in your original post. Moreover with same name the server should be added in 'Backup and Restore' tab of BE. This server should be browesed and backup job created.

For eg. if in database access configuration if provided IP address then, IP address should be used in server list on Backup Exec server and with IP address the server should be added, browsed and job created.

Please check these for more details on above:

Looking from your attached snapshots, they seem to be different. Snapshot 1 shows 'ObjectName : Machine' and in Snapshot 3 you have IP address and FQDN added. Can you confirm these? Also make sure when you 'Add Server' in 'Backup and Restore' tab to use the same name and create a backup job for it.

Thanks,

hello... thank you very much for your reply...

ok... that is what i have done...

first i have changed the oracle listner configuration to use the FQDN of the oracle server instead of the IP.. and then i have restarted the listener and the database..

i have reinstalled the RALUS ... in the installation process... it asks me for the server where i am going to install RALUS... i gave it the FQDN of the oracle server ...

and then it asked about the backup server... i gave it the FQDN of the backup exec server... as i have added an entry for it in /etc/hosts

and after the inistallation is complete i have used th config utility 

then i moved to the bacjup exec server 

in the settings i have added three entries .... 

first.. for the server IP... second.. for the server FQDN.. third.. for the server short name

and then i added the server to the server list in (( backup and restore)) page .. when i add it using the FQDN.. it creats one entry for the server with its FQDN... when i add the server using its IP i found out that two entries were created automatically ..one with the server IP nad the second with its FQDN ... 

i created a backup job for the server with its FQDN entry...

and here are the cridintials test..

and when i try to run the backup job i get the following error ... 

i have done all of these steps again but using the IP address only... means.. i have shutdown the database... and the oracle listner... reconfigured the listner with the server IP address... started the listner.. started the database... and then i reinstalled the RALUS .. gave it just IP  for the oracle and backup server... and then in the backup server deleted the server.. added it again using the IP address.. and the test cridintials were successfull... and when i tried to run the job i got the message of the cridintial falure ...
