Error during creation of CONTROL.trc file using ora_db_copy.sh

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I' trying to perform a system copy using the BACKUP/RESTORE procedure. As described in system manual for my NW2004s (SAP BW7.0, Oracle 10g, AIX) i need to generate the the control file structure.

First of all I've update my ORABRCOPY.SAR downloading a new version from SAPNET.

Now, I need to execute the following command

./ora_br_copy.sh -generateFiles -forceLogSwitches -targetSid BWP -password <password> -listenerPort 1527

but I have the following error

Incorrect application options:

At least one from 'generateFiles' or 'forceLogSwitches' options is required.

This is the log file conteined into OraBRCopy.console.log

Thanks a lot!

I solved this "bug" by typing the commnand instead of copying and pasting from sap's pdf. Weird but worked for me.

Hi,

Command should be like this:

./ora_br_copy.sh u2013generateFiles u2013targetSid <TARGET_DBSID> -listenerPort 1527 -password <SYSTEM useru2019s password>

Thanks
