Hi,

If u are using Windows Server u will be using <SID>adm for using BRTOOLS.

If u are using UNIX or Linux or IBM AIX servers u must logon with <SID>adm to startsap (or) to stopsap and u can do modifications to BRTOOLS by using <sid>admu2026u2026

<sid>adm usually is used for starting or stopping SAP. There may be valid reasons for not doing so.

What is your operating system?

Are you in a clustered environment?
