DPM 2010 Short and Long Term goals

My question is related to size restrictions.
Our existing DPM 2010 is setup with two protections groups, System State, and a Default (file) protection group. Both are set up the same. A co worker recently had to re-create a protection group due to his negligence and deleted it without looking at how
it was setup in the first place, since then I've been having errors in backing up to tape:
Synchronization frequency is set to just before recovery point
Short term goals are:
Recovery points are at 8:00 AM, 12:00PM, 6:00PM Everyday, Express Full is 8:00PM Everyday
Long term goals are:
Retention range 2 weeks, Frequency Weekly (1 recovery point every 1 week for the last 2 weeks)
Full backups are set to Saturday at 11:00 PM
Here's the thing, we have 3x3TB external drives that, historically have been swapped out weekly (Monday mornings, using Firestreamer for tape emulation). Since the co-worker broke, and re-created the protection groups, when we view DPM Console on Monday
morning, we see that the backup jobs are failing, the 3TB drive is full. 
Could this 3TB drive be full due to this weekly swapping out when it is set to a retention range of 2 weeks? Obviously, it could be because the protection group actually contains that much data, but I'm trying to wrap my head around sync frequency, recovery
points and how that works into recovery goals. 
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Right. After the registry key is added, all new recovery points written to tape will show they expire at midnight (12:00am) on they day they expire so any tape jobs that run later that day will be able to use that tape after the expiry
date.
To prevent tape jobs from failing because there are no tapes available, you can also add this registry value.
During a new tape backup or if a tape becomes full and there are no other tapes marked free, Free (contains data) or expired in the library, DPM will raise an alert to prompt for another free tape to continue backup.  The same is true during a
restore, if the needed tape is not in the library an alert will be raised.  By Default, DPM It will wait for
1 hour before failing the job.
This prompting timeout can be configured by the registry entry “PromptingTimeOut” under “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\1.0\Prompting”
PromptingTimeOut:REG_Dword:43200000  (dec) = 12hrs
The Formula is   (#hrs * 1000 * 60 * 60)
1HR =  1*1000*60*60 =  3600000  decimal
So for each hour to wait, multiply by 3600000.
8hrs = 28800000  decimal
Restart the DPMRA service.

  • Short, medium and long term planning in SNP

    Hi,
          can somebody explain me what Short, medium and long term planning mean in SNP?
    Lets, say I have this scenario:
    If I have a product with SNP horizon of 35 days, which means that the product is planned in SNP only after 35 days from today.  Only PPDs deals with orders in these 35 days.
    I have a 3 planning books
    short term with 30 days from today
    medium term with 7 months from today and
    long term with 2 years from today.
    When I say short, medium and long term planning in SNP what exactly happens in these ?? What do users usually do in these books?
    SNP horizon is 35 days and the short term book is 30 days long, in which SNP does nothing. What's the use of this book?
    Thanks.

    When I say short, medium and long term planning in SNP what exactly happens in these ??
    Nothing much from a technical stand point.
    What do users usually do in these books?
    Check the Time Bucket Profile for the different books. The short Term Book will be in days, the mid term in weeks and the long term in months/quarters etc. The different books allows users to see the keyfigures in different time-based aggregate level.
    But if Heuristic is executed then behaviour will be different. Remember SNP Location Heuristic run uses the bucket of the data view to compute the Net Requirement and then try creating Receipts in each bucket within the time horizon of the data view using suitable master data. So if you run Location Heuristic in the short Term (daily) view then you will have many receipts one per day most likely. If you run in mid-term Weekly view then there are less number of receipts one receipt per week till 7 months. likewise for the long term view.
    SNP horizon is 35 days and the short term book is 30 days long, in which SNP does nothing. What's the use of this book?
    Maybe just to see the data. Location Heuristic run will not generate any new receipt.
    Thanks,

  • My long-term Goal

    Iam a java beginer,just I can develop simple java applications.
    But I want to be an expert JSP web developer .
    What are the things that I should do, the techniques that I should study and what are the short-tearm goals that I should achieve to accomplish my long-term goal . What the time and the experiences that are needed to achieve my goal?

    Write your goal down and yes a technical architect would be the correct goal to achive as a java developer. Then write down what price you will have to pay to achive it. I'm working towards that same goal myself and I asked the people that had already achieved what I was trying to do and then I wrote what they said down as my plan.
    Basically, it's as follows and it's the same in any profession:
    1.) Pick something you enjoy doing. I assume you like programming as more than a job. If you don't do this, you won't be able to get through the inevitable problems and frustrations that occur in the daily work.
    2.) Put in extra time everyday towards your goal. It could be learning a new technology like Hibernate or Ajax or whatever. Set goals to achive certifications or accomplishments at work. 40 hours a week is for survival, anything over that puts you on the side of the angels. The top java devs put in an extra 2-3 hours of self-study daily. They don't quit this after 6 months either.
    3.)Don't quit on your plan.
    4.)I don't like to set timelines for this, but I would think in 3 to 5 years you will be at the technical architect level.

  • Short and long texts

    Dear Experts,
    I have many BW objects (like Infocubes, Infoobject catalogues, Infoobjects) for which no short and long texts are maintained in one language. Now, all these are in use in the production system. I have to edit the short and long texts for all of these objects. My intention on how to do it is to,
    1) Logon to the Development system
    2) Edit short texts manually for all of the objects.
    3) Collect the changed objects in Transport organiser and transport to the productive system.
    My only question is does we need to do any thing in the production system after transporting these objects for them to get reflected.
    Any help and other thoughts are greatly appreciated...
    Kind Regards,
    Shravan

    Transport Changes and that's all ...
    Hope it helps

  • Short term and Long-term inspection and characteristic

    Hi all,
    In the SAP portal, they mentioned about Long-Term Inspection with Long-Term Characteristic, and Short-Term Inspectoin with Short-Term Characteristic.
    May I know what is the usage on the above and how to setup in the system?
    Thanks
    YY

    Long Term Characteristics Indicator is marked in the Control Indicators Tab of an MIC.
    Long Term Inspection is used when the Business Requirement is to do Results Recording after Usage Decision.
    In normal circumstances, i.e. Short Term Inspection, system won't allow us to do RR once UD is given.

  • Sap mm md04 and ms04 stock requirement and long term planning issue

    Hi guru's,
    i have one issue regarding MD04 and MS04. in MD04 3 storage locations were showing. in that the stock in 2 storage locations was excluded due to no long term plan.
    now if we see in ms04, these 2 storage locations are not appearing. now my logistics manager wants to maintain the long term planning for these two also.
    in md04,,, 3 storage locations available ..same like ms04 should follow
    provide the solution as soon as possible
    Thanks & Regards
    Prasad.

    Mukesh,
    To change the forecast from occuring at start of period ( month) you can always select the Schedule line Tab in MD61,MD62. then select period indicator as Day format as shown below
    Per. Ind          Date              Qty
    D     17.05.2010     30
    D     15.06.2010     40
    D     15.07.2010     50
    System will then plan PIR (forcast) based on dates assigned by user instead of being placed on the first day
    of the period. This will prevent forcast to fall into the previous month. Also it will resolve the capacity issue you are facing.
    If you have more questions please come back.
    thanks,

  • HDD short and long test Freezes at 50%

    The laptop kept crashing and new install of Windows 7 and then Windows 8 did not fix the issue. The 'run in' test passed the ram section, but froze at 55% of the HHD test. The longer HDD test also froze at 55%. I'm assuming that there is a serious problem in the mid disk space. I'm probably going to shrink the C: disk to  maybe 25-30% will this avoid the area at 55%?  It's not really justified, on cost grounds, to fit a new or even used disk in this system as there are cheap new more powerful systems around.  However,  a working allbeit small hard disk system, would be fine for my usage.

    According to the message you have recently posted I would like to confirm that this could be a hardware issue and it looks like the sectors on the Hard Drive are being damaged. I strongly recommend you to immediately back up your data before the Hard Drive stops working completely. I recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay to get your Notebook diagnosed and serviced by an authorized HP Certified Engineer You can also Check your warranty Here to verify the warranty status  Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again  **Click the White Thumbs Up Button on the right to say Thanks**Make it easier for other people to find solutions by marking a Reply 'Accept as Solution' if it solves your problem. Thank You,K N R KAlthough I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP

  • Changing Infoobjects Short and Long description on mass level

    Hi,
    We are trying to change the descriptions for infoobjects on mass level. We dont want to change the same in dev system and transport since its not feasible to check the consistency of the objects.
    Kindly let us know if there is any other alternative for the same.
    Thanks,
    gaurav

    Hi Siggi,
    We tried changing the description using this function module and it worked in our DEV system. The concern here is when we check the attribute for this SAP standard function module it shows status "Not Released"  under General Data tab.
    Can we follow this appraoch as we could not find any other impacts since it changes only the text part of infoobject.
    Thanks for the inputs!!

  • DPM 2012 R2 Long Term not backing up on correct day

    Howdy,
    I have created a Protection group w/both short and long term protections. The short term backup is to disk, Monday through Thursday, and the long term backup up is on Fridays to tape. (See images below) Seems simple enough, however for some reason the long
    term Friday shows up on Thursday the same time the the short term backups are run. I didn't know that was possibly, but more importantly why is this happening?
    I've done as much research as I can do on the web, I'm hoping someone here can weigh in. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Janaka,
    This is by design, all Long term tape backups are taken from the last successful disk based backup.  In your case, your last disk based backup is Thursday, and no data has changed since then, so DPM will mount Thursdays disk based recovery point and
    copy it to tape and the time of the recovery point will be the same as Thursday since the version of the data is exactly the same.
