how to patch brtools (6.40 version)

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Gurus,

I want to update my brtools. My current version of brtools is

BR0651I BRTOOLS 6.40 (40)

Patch Date Info

36 2006-01-11 Small functional enhancements in BR*Tools (note 914174)

38 2006-03-29 BR*Tools support for MDM databases (note 936665)

40 2006-08-30 Wrong message numbers in BR*Tools 6.40 (note 976755)

release note 680046

kernel release 640

patch date 2006-08-30

patch level 40

make platform rs6000_64

make mode OCI_920

make date Sep 5 2006

I want to update this brtools to the latest patch level. From several SAP Notes, I just need to download and extract the latest brtools and run saproot.sh to verivy file permission. But unfortunately, This still produce error like this :

host:ora[sid] 1> brconnect -u / -f stats -t MSEG

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program brconnect because of the following errors:

0509-150 Dependent module libclntsh.a(shr.o) could not be loaded.

0509-022 Cannot load module libclntsh.a(shr.o).

0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

host:ora[sid] 2> ls -l

It seems that the environment cannot be load. But by using my old brtools, this config is working fine.

Please kindly give suggestion and advice.

Thank you

hi dksi08,

I am working for Oracle 9i and using BRTOOLS 640. Newer BRTOOLS (700, 710 or 720) only work for 10g and 11g
