Merge Job Skipped

Symptom

• The merge Job was skipped because the session is currently locked by the copy recovery point job. Verify if any copy recovery point job is pending.
• The merge job was skipped because the session is currently locked by the on-demand copy recovery point job. The on-demand copy recovery point job is either running or waiting to run.

Solution

To continue the merge job we need to remove the lock files from the backup destination of the node.

Run the Delete lock tool from C:\Program Files\Arcserve\Unified Data Protection\Engine\BIN\AFDeleteLockTool.exe.

Note: This tool deletes all CRP related locks (CRP scheduled and ad-hoc CRP) and merge starts immediately. Merged sessions will not be available for CRP to copy to destination.

Usage:

AFDeleteLockTool.exe -path <BackupDestinationPath> -user <USERNAME> -password <PASSWORD> -type <crp/adhoccrp>

Remarks:

-path: -specify Backup Destination Path

-type: -specify type of Task to delete lock

crp: Deletes Lock related to Scheduled CRP jobs.

adhoccrp: Deletes Lock related to ad hoc CRP jobs.

-user:  -specify Username for backup destination

-password:  -specify Password for backup destination

-path and -type is Mandatory

-user and -password is optional. (either both should be supplied or both should be skipped)

Examples:

• If you want to remove only CRP scheduled tasks locks, please run the tool as below:
• AFDeleteLockTool.exe -path I:/Backup/RPS678 -type crp
• If you want to remove only Ad-hoc CRP job locks, please run the tool as below:
• AFDeleteLockTool.exe -path I:/Backup/RPS678 -user User123 -password "**********" -type crp
• If you want to remove all CRP locks, please run the tool as below:
• AFDeleteLockTool.exe -path I:/Backup/RPS678 -user User123 -password "**********" -type crp -type adhoccrp
