Explanation: When nbpem tries to obtain the date of the last backup for a particular client, policy, and schedule combination, an error occurs.
Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:
Verify that the NetBackup database manager (bpdbm) process (on UNIX and Linux) or the NetBackup Database Manager service (on Windows) is running.
Examine the All Log Entries report for the appropriate time frame to gather more information about the failure.
For detailed troubleshooting information, create a bpdbm log directory on the master server. Increase the logging level for the diagnostic and debug logs for nbpem (use the vxlogcfg command).
See "Configuring and Using Unified Logging" in the Troubleshooting Guide).
