BR0252W Function remove() failed

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I've been having problems with backing up Oracle's redo log files via DB13. I'm trying to backup redo log files to disk. I've been getting the errors from the Job Log below:

20:44:20 BR0002I BRARCHIVE 7.00 (32)

20:44:20 BRARCHIVE returned error status E

Then I double check file permissions and made sure that <SID>adm and ora<SID> users are able to see these files using chmod 777...

BBERPDB1:orabbp 18> ls -ltr

-rwxrwxrwx 1 orabbp dba 1950 Nov 20 20:39 initBBP.ora

I also checked init<SID>.ora to see if the log_archive_dest parameter has been defined as opposed to what the job log mentioned above...

BBERPDB1:orabbp 20> cat initBBP.ora|grep log_archive_dest

*.log_archive_dest='/oracle/BBP/oraarch/BBParch'

Can someone shed light on this?

Thanks and regards.

Please check the permissions of your BRTOOLS in the Kernel-Dir according to note 113747.

Thank you very much. I learned something new, br* tools require special file attributes.
