I got the solution

my database password was changed due to which the backup was not happening.

When i reset the password to the one which i gave during installation my issue got resolved.

What is your operating system?

Does file /oracle/XP3/sapdata1/sr3_1/sr3.data1 exist? Or should it be /oracle/XP3/sapdata1/xp3_1/xp3.data1 ?

Does device file /dev/rmt0.1 exits?

Dear Joe

operating system is AIX

yes /oracle/XP3/sapdata1/sr3_1/sr3.data1 exits.

Yes device file /dev/rmt0.1 exits

Hi santosh,

Filerights of /dev/rmt0.1 ?

Does the User who initiate the Backup have writeaccess to the Tapedevice?

#chmod a+rw /dev/rmt0.1

Hi Santosh,

The problem lies across in the file system mount points.

Mount the file system to the nfs with the help of the AIX administrator. It is a small process. Down the SAP and then mount it.

Dear Experts

Thank you all a for your help.

I just wanted to inform you that my backup issue was resolved.

The main cause of the problem was database password which was accidently changed by my couleague.

When i reset the password to the one which i given during installation the backup started without any issue.

I am closing this thread as the problem was resolved.

Thanks to all of you.

Regards

Santosh.
