Resolved issues

The following is a list of issues addressed in this release.

Table 2. General resolved issues
Resolved issue	Issue ID
Corrected an issue that caused NetVault Backup nvmediadetails CLI command to fail when the media contained RMAN Controlfile Autobackups. NetVault Backup Server software version 10.0.5 or later is required for this.	23202
Corrected an issue that caused RMAN Controlfile Autobackup jobs to fail on Oracle Solaris SPARC platform.	30722
Corrected an issue that resulted in determined Backup Jobs to wait indefinitely at the stage 'Building Backup Index' preventing the Jobs to complete.	30979
Corrected an issue that prevented Controlfile Autobackup jobs to successfully run in environments where the NetVault Backup Client was added to the NetVault Backup Server using a description written in Japanese Language.	31840
Corrected an issue that caused NetVault Backup Job Manager to display an error message, at the end of Oracle Restore Job, despite successful completion of Restore process.	31862
Corrected an issue that caused the password of the connect target string to become encrypted during database cloning. This issue occurred if the Target Database entry was modified in the Duplicate from Database section of the Clone Database tab on the Edit Plugin Options page.	27284
Corrected an issue that caused backup and restore jobs to fail as a result of insufficient space in the progress buffers for NetVault Backup. NetVault Backup Server 10.x and later does not use progress buffers. Instead, data amount transfer is provided directly by NetVault Backup Media Manager. Therefore, NetVault Backup Plug‑in for Oracle jobs will not encounter lack of shared memory for progress buffers.	27732, 27735, 27741

System requirements

Before installing Plug‑in for Oracle 11.2, ensure that your system meets the requirements outlined in the Quest NetVault Backup Compatibility Guide available at https://support.quest.com/technical-documents.

Upgrade and compatibility

•

Plug‑in for Oracle® 11.2 requires NetVault Backup 10.0 or later. For complete supported-platform information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Compatibility Guide.

•

Upgrading from 5.0: When upgrading from 5.0 of the plug-in, note the following:

•

If you are using a permanent 5.0 Edition-Based License Key, obtain a new license key before upgrading to a later version. The 5.0 Edition-Based License Keys were issued between June 2007 and May 2008. If you are using an older Oracle® Online or Oracle RMAN permanent license key, a new permanent license key is not required.

•

After upgrading to the new version, the default attributes must be entered again. This requirement is true whether you are currently using an evaluation key or permanent key for 5.0.

•

Upgrading from Oracle® Online and Oracle RMAN Plug-ins: When upgrading from the Oracle Online or Oracle RMAN plug-ins, note the following:

•

The concept of a backup method has been introduced. The plug-in offers two backup methods: User Managed and RMAN. The User Managed backup method correlates to the backup method used by previous versions of the Oracle Online plug-in. The RMAN backup method correlates to the backup method used by previous versions of the Oracle RMAN plug-in.

•

Backups taken with previous versions of the Oracle Online or Oracle RMAN plug-in can be restored with the consolidated Plug-in for Oracle.
