Hi

-rwsrwxr-x 1 orasmn dba 5074068 Feb 25 2009 brarchive
-rwsrwxr-x 1 orasmn dba 6786275 Feb 25 2009 brconnect
-rwsrwxr-x 1 orasmn dba 5202913 Feb 25 2009 brbackup

Change the group ownership from "dba" to "sapsys".

Refer the below note:

[Note 113747 - Permissions for DBA tools BR*Tools and SAPDBA|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/113747]

It will solve the problem.

Also, Always use latest BRTOOL version..

Hi Rajesh,

I have modified the file permissions as said.

Still the same prob.

Currently we have all the permissions set as per the note you have mentioned.

Hi,

Check the permission of "/oracle/SMN/sapbackup/".

It should be writable for ora<sid> user...

Also post the permission of brtools.

# ls -l /sapmnt/<SID>/exe/br*

You can also try the below command to set the proper permissions.

# cd /sapmnt/<SID>/exe
# saproot.sh <SID>

Regards.

Hi Rajesh,

I have changed the permissions of sapbackup folder to 775

and it worked out.

Tablespace extension is working fine.

Thanks & regards,

hi anees,

1st, you have to add OS user SIDadm in OS group 'dba'

2nd, you also have to look at the 'log_archive_dest' because that parameter is not defined in the intiSID.sap

Hi majamil,

1>SIDADM is already part of dba group

2> i dont think Log_archive_dest is causing problems for tablespace extension.
