Folks,

I was looking at an oracle backup run, to a ddb device but as per the DD gui, it did not have an active ddb connection. Later I selected the client direct and data domain backup options on the networker client properties configuration. I was expecting new sessions to make ddb connections, after the config change, but they were not.

As the backup was multi-TB, I looked back a few hours later and then the ddb connections were visible.

I am trying to find out more information about dd boost. Does anyone know, why I was seeing channels initially bkup without making a ddb connection and later channels/backups making connections.

Is it possible to check the DD logs some how to find out when the jobs starting making the connections ?

DD OS is 5.7

Oracle Networker client/nmda is 8.2.4

Tks,

Liam
