We checked the RFC connection SAPXPG_DBDEST_PPD-ORA-GA2 and it is not working.

For target host and gateway host,we have maintained their corresponding virtual host.

Gateway is already installed on the server.

Could you please help me out on this.

Hi,

Have a look at the [SAP Note 446172 - SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE (program_start_error) in DB13|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=446172].

Hope this clarifies/solves the issue.

Hello,

Just to add some more information.

We have 3 servers, X(Database + CI),Y(Dialog instance),Z(Dialog Instance).

Server X is the primary node and Y is the failover node.

Gateway is already installed on Database server and I can verify it by giving ps -aef | grep gwrd.

Thanks,

Hi,

If the gateway instance is already installed then make sure that the environment variables are correctly set for the user ID SAPSERVICE<SID> at OS level. Make sure it has same environment variables as that of user <SID>adm and try after that.

Also, you can check if its working at OS level using the BRTOOLS.

Hello,

Backup is happening successfully through BRTOOLS,but it is not happening through DB13.

It was working fine last week.

Is there any user ID like SAPSERVICE<SID> at OS level and I checked at OS level,it doesn't exist.

Thanks,

Gopi L
