clone job is exiting with status 'did not run'
Hello Everyone,
We have a scheduled backup job that include two actions: one to backup oracle DB and the second action is to clone the oracle DB backup files from data domain to tapes.
The first action completed successfully but when it reach to the clone action it failed !
The manual cloning from GUI works without issues. I believe this happened after we implemented RMAN script.
Below is the log for the cloning job
5/26/2023 3:12:24 AM Step (1 of 16): NSRCLONE_INIT_PHASE_ONE: nsrclone has been started on host 'serverBK.domainpc.com', with command 'C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\bin\nsrclone.exe -a *policy name=OracleDB -a *policy workflow name=Monthly -a *policy action name=clone -s serverBK -b CloneToTape -J serverBK.domainpc.com -y 10 Years -w 10 Years -o -F -S '.

By just looking at messages, it seems as if it could not find any saveset that would fit criteria. If you are using parallel cloning to backup, try to ommit that and see if that makes any difference.

it indeed mentions " total_sslist is NULL" so it did not find anything to clone. So what is the clone query used in the query-based protection group that makes selections of what to clone? Or how is the cloning arranged?
We only use what we call ourselves asynchronous cloning, meaning the clone job is separated from the backup workflow, as we don't want many backups jobs to all compete with the same resources and hence use clone workflow that runs during the day, while most backups run outside of office hours. So there is a slight delay between backup and when the cloning runs...
So what is your approach?

The clone starts after backup is completed

First, let me clear it again as this issue only occurs on oracle backup.
we are backing up the Oracle DB by calling a RMAN script to run.
Also, VMs cloning are working fine.
in terms for how the cloning is arranged
we have the same asynchronous cloning, the backup starts after working hours and once completed, the clone action starts.
We tried to create a group based on "Save Set Query" and showed the same issue.
It looks like it didn't find save set, even though they are already there !
We noticed that the oracle backups, do not have policy, workflow and action fields empty on the save set list. we believe this is because we are using the rman script.

Were you able to provide a solution to the problem?
