BRBACKUP restore - problm in login

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I installed ecc6 on HPUX with oracle and restored brbackup of Production server.

DB & SAP started succesfullly, when i try to login, its giving login page, but unable to login with the existing users in Production server, its giving error as "DB Error"

unable to login with SAP * also in any client.

What could be the reason - Kindly suggest.

Hi,

Can you tell me that your QAS and PRD have the sane SID and the schema.

What i get you need to go through System copy Steps.

Thanks

Hi ,

This is common problem after restore of SAP system.Kindly check your kernel level it should be atleast to level of your source system.So do the kernel upgrade.

Thanks..

It gives 'DB error', so we should look at alertSID.log for exact error

/oracle/SID/saptrace/background/alertSID.log

Hi Mohit,

Thnx for responce.

I have dowloaded the files SAPEXEDB_185-20001024.SAR & SAPEXE_185-20001025.SAR, in some location.

I logged in through SIDADM & when am extracting the files its giving error as

SAPCAR: processing archive SAPEXE_185-20001025.SAR (version 2.01)

x ABAP.pad

SAPCAR: could not open for writing ABAP.pad (error 28). Permission denied

what could be the reason.

'in some location'

that location/directory should be permitted to write/execute the files inside it and files with .SAR should be with same thing i.e. sidadm + atleast 755

and SAPCAR should be with good permissions and owner

Hi Anjali,

stil the same error;

File in location with permission :

-rwxr-xr-x 1 mdpadm sapsys 8550456 Oct 10 2005 SAPCAR

-rwxr-xr-x 1 mdpadm sapsys 15100868 Sep 2 10:58 SAPEXEDB_185-20001024.SAR

-rwxr-xr-x 1 mdpadm sapsys 368998230 Sep 2 11:04 SAPEXE_185-20001025.SAR

here am logiing through SIDADM and trying to extract;

1. SAPCAR - xvf SAPEXEDB_185-20001024.SAR

getting error as :

SAPCAR: processing archive SAPEXEDB_185-20001024.SAR (version 2.01)

x R3ldctl

SAPCAR: could not open for writing R3ldctl (error 28). Permission denied

'SAPCAR: could not open for writing R3ldctl (error 28). Permission denied'

Either, the permission/owner of this file R2ldctl is not sufficient, or SAPCAR is not able to uncar the already running r3ldctl.

did you set the permission/owner with -R option, so that all dir/subdir/files are with proper permissions ?

I hope, you are uncarring in some other location than /sapmnt/SID/exe

if you really doing kernel patching right now, just keep SAP down, and then do everything

Just try to follow this one, if you didn't see it yet

SAP Note 19466 - Downloading SAP kernel patches

[Former Member]

does R3ldctl already exist in the location where you want to unpack the file?

Hi,

R3ldctl doesnt exist in this location.

same error :

SAPCAR: processing archive SAPEXEDB_185-20001024.SAR (version 2.01)

x R3ldctl

SAPCAR: could not open for writing R3ldctl (error 28). Permission denied

Rgds!!

[Former Member]

I would say, delete all the dirs and start again, using chmod -R, chown -R for dir and file

and if possible, new SAPCAR download helps too

[Former Member]

Hi ,

Please copy both archives in one folder suppose KERNEL .Now run the specified command of SAPCAR .

Give full permission to both files as 777 and to folder KERNEL as well, check it should work fine.

Also make sure that you are running this command via <SID>adm.

Thanks..
