IT44267: SLOW PERFORMANCE OF PARALLEL SQL DATABASE OR LOG BACKUPS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Either SQL database or log backup is slow when parallel jobs run
  at the same time. The time gap can be seen as following:
  
  
  CTGGA2227,Cluster host <sql-server> is resolved to application
  server <sql-server-host-name>
  CTGGA2222,Cataloged x instances  x database groups x databases
  x folders  x labels  x volumes and x disks from server
  <sql-server-host-name>
  
  
  It is found that some global locks prevent different jobs from
  cataloging at the same time.
  
  
  Versions affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Plus v10.1.*
  
  Additional keywords: TS012966444 SPP
