Defect Description:
	PHSS_30568:
	Change Request: H555010967
	  SAP util_file_online backup does not function correctly.

	  Resolution:
	  SAP util_file_online backup functions correctly.

	Change Request: H555011258
	  If "backint" receives exactly 100 files for backup,
	  which are not specified in the manual balancing, it
	  attempts to read past the end of this internally made
	  list.

	  Resolution:
	  Mechanism for checking the end of new files list is
	  changed.

	  OmniBack II supports all options of SAP "brtools" that
	  are also supported through backint which is not correct.

	  Resolution:
	  By setting "OB2NOBRTSECU" variable in "omnirc" file, a
	  part of code that is responsible for hiding
	  username/password for "brtools" is excluded, and backup
	  with command "brarchive -b" is possible.

	Change Request: H555010652
	  Environment is not written to debugs.

	  Resolution:
	  Values of environment variables are logged into debugs.

	  it properly calculates destination directory properties.

	  Part of SSPUX410_064.

	Change Request: H555009971
	  All information messages in switch.log, except #SUCCESS
	  and #ERROR, are being treated as serious error.

	  to normal.

	PHSS_28343:
	Change Request: H555008621
	  CheckFile checks marked error if parameter is null.
	  Debugs are initialized after function entry is marked.

	  Resolution:
	  Error messages are not written to the debug.log file.

	Change Request: H555008642
	  Set ID number searching is not strict enough and gets
	  confused by new SAP BR tools format.

	  Resolution:
	  Stricter checking is applied to see if it really is
	  backint ID.

	  Part of SSPUX410_036.

	Change Request: H555008807
	  In split mirror environment with huge SAP databases
	  it can happen that the size of the message buffer
	  OmniBack II uses is too small to receive complete list
	  of SAP files to be backed up.

	  Resolution:
	  Setting the OB2IPCBUFSIZE environment variable in the
	  /opt/omni/.omnirc file on Cell Server, R1 and R2 hosts,
	  specifying the desired amount of memory to be used for
	  the buffer solves the described problem.
	  Please read the following instructions and make sure
	  that the patches listed in "Other Dependencies" section
	  (see below) are installed and the environment
	  variable is set on Cell Server, R1 and R2 systems before
	  running the backup!

	  How to determine the buffer size?
	  ---------------------------------

	  N_obj:     number of objects (files)
	  N_fs:    number of file systems
	  N_lvmvg:   number of volume groups
	  N_dg:    number of disk groups
	  N_rdsk:    number of rawdisks
	  Obj:     Object Name
	  ObjBack:   Object Backup Name
	  MntPathLen:  Path name on backup (R2) host
	         (example: /var/opt/omni/tmp/App_host)
	  fsmnt:     File System Mount Point
	  fsdev:     File System Device File
	         (example: /dev/dsk/|c0t1d1,lvol1|)
	  vg:      Volume group
	         (ex: /dev/vg01)
	  dg:      Disk group (VxVM) - dependence on mapfile
	         which is required for creating disk group
	         (example:/dev/vx/dsk/dg01)
	  rdsk:    Raw disk file name
	         (example: /dev/rdsk/c1t1d1)
	  AvgLen_<xxx> average length of <xxx>

	
	  There are two different buffers used:

	  1. BSM <-> R1
	  2. R1 <-> R2

	  Calculating the BSM <-> R1 buffer size
	  --------------------------------------
	  MsgSize_BSM_R1 = N_obj * (AvgLen_Obj + 1 + MntPathLen)

	  Calculating the R1 <-> R2 buffer size
	  -------------------------------------
	  MsgSize_R1_R2 =
	    N_obj*(AvgLen_Obj+1+AvgLen_ObjBack) +
	    N_fs*(AvgLen_fsmnt*2 + MntPathLen + AvgLen_fsdev*2)+
	    N_lvmvg*(AvgLen_vg*2) + N_dg*(AvgLen_dg*2) +
	    N_rdsk*(AvgLen_rdsk*2)

	  Calculating the OB2IPCBUFSIZE value
	  -----------------------------------
	  OB2IPCBUFSIZE > max (MsgSize_BSM_R1, MsgSize_R1_R2)

	  RESTORE NOTE:
	  -------------
	  If restore is started using the sapbda utility,
	  the variable OB2IPCBUFSIZE must be exported to
	  environment prior to starting sapbda.

	  Known problems:
	  ---------------
	  If the calculated variable OB2IPCBUFSIZE is correctly
	  set, but is still too small for the file list to fit
	  into the message buffer, the session will fail with
	  the following error seen in the report:

	  BR295I Splitting mirror disks...
	  BR280I Time stamp <time>
	  BR279E Return code from '/opt/omni/lbin/ob2smbsplit
	     /<sap_homedir_path>/.<filename>.lst': 2
	  BR299E Split/resynchronization of mirror disks failed

	  In this case the variable OB2IPCBUFSIZE must be
	  recalculated to appropriate value. See above how to
	  determine it.

	  Part of SSPUX410_033.

	Change Request: H555008812
	  OmniBack II ignores the following caution in the SAP
	  specification:

	    "Caution:By restoring raw partition to a different
	    one, the <dest_dir> means directly the new raw
	    partition, not the directory containing the special
	    file."

	  Resolution:
	  Destination directory forming procedure is changed.

	Change Request: H555008906
	  Some parts of structures for query are allocated but
	  not released.

	  Resolution:
	  All allocated structures are released.

	Change Request: H555008908
	  By design, whenever there are no objects backed up,
	  OmniBack II ends session as failed.

	  Resolution:
	  Two new global variables have been introduced:

	  a) SessSucessfullWhenNoObjectsBackedUp=0
	  By setting this variable to 1 user can change the
	  OmniBack II behavior in order to end the session as
	  successful when there are no objects backed up.
	  b) TreatScriptReturnAsNormal=<script return>
	  By setting this variable to a certain number instructs
	  OmniBack II to treat all the script returns equal to
	  the specified number as normal.

	Change Request: H555009439
	  'brbackup' and 'brarchive' are called with wrong
	  parameters.

	  Resolution:
	  Parameters for 'brarchive' and 'brbackup' calls are
	  corrected.

	  Part of SSPUX410_050.

	PHSS_27452:
	Change Request: H555008480
	  Incorrect function is used for raw partition restore.

	  Resolution:
	  Raw partition restore uses proper function.

	  Part of SSPUX410_027.

	Change Request: H555008483
	  Abort mechanism is implemented incorrectly.

	  Resolution:
	  Sapback aborts all the objects upon abort request from
	  OmniBack II user.

	Change Request: 8606260802
	  Session log files contains improper information when
	  SAP backup fails.

	  Resolution:
	  Log files contain proper information.

	  Part of SSPUX410_023.

	Change Request: H555008565
	  Connection string in printed in plain text format.

	  Resolution:
	  Connection string is encrypted before it is passed
	  to GUI.

	  Part of SSPUX410_025.

	PHSS_26887:
	Change Request: H555007380
	  brbackup/brarchive is always started with "-u" option
	  which displays logon information.

	  Resolution:
	  brbackup/brarchive options are passed in a file.

	  Part of SSPUX410_014.

	Change Request: H555007605
	  OmniBack II SAP integration is not supported on
	  Compaq Tru64 operating system.

	  Resolution:
	  OmniBack II SAP integration is supported on
	  Compaq Tru64 operating system.
