BRARCHIVE Error after SAP Kernel Upgrade

[Former Member]

Hi,

I upgraded recently the SAP Kernel on a DEV server, since then the backup of redo logs doesn't work. However the full backup is OK.

By running the brachive command :

brarchive -p initSID_arch.sap -r initSID_arch.utl -c force -u /

I get the following error :

BR0002I BRARCHIVE 7.10 (30)

I checked permissions, owners and all backup config files, everything seems to be OK.

Someone could help.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Deepak

I renamed the file arch_backintSID.log and it was recreated after starting archiving

It works now.

Many Thanks for your support

Hi Deepak,

There is no extra characters like ^M in the file arch_backintSID.log.

Indeed the backup tool is not able to read this file, I will maybe try to rename it and restart archiving. The file should normally be recreated.

What do you think about that ?

Thanks

Hi

All these checks have been made :

Permissions/owner of /nsr/applogs/arch_backintSID.log have been checked and are OK.

Permissions/owner of the executable are also alright :

-rwsrwxr-x 1 oraSID sapsys 6484100 Jan 30 2010 /sapmnt/SID/exe/brarchive

-rwsrwxr-x 1 oraSID sapsys 6657295 Jan 30 2010 /sapmnt/SID/exe/brbackup

-rwsrwxr-x 1 oraSID sapsys 8559265 Jan 30 2010 /sapmnt/SID/exe/brconnect

-rwxr-xr-x 1 SIDadm sapsys 7246249 Jan 30 2010 /sapmnt/SID/exe/brrecover

-rwxr-xr-x 1 SIDadm sapsys 2704197 Jan 30 2010 /sapmnt/SID/exe/brrestore

-rwxr-xr-x 1 SIDadm sapsys 9074629 Jan 30 2010 /sapmnt/SID/exe/brspace

-rwxr-xr-x 1 SIDadm sapsys 3438384 Jan 30 2010 /sapmnt/SID/exe/brtools

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root system 1993504 Jul 14 2008 /sapmnt/SID/exe/backint

Thanks for each idea could help.

Hi,

Can you see the file arch_backintSID.log whether it has some extra characters like ^M. May be backup tool is not able to read this file.

Hi Abdellatif,

Please ensure that backint executable has full permission (777) and root is the owner for the same.

Hello,

Did you check the permissions/owner of /nsr/applogs/arch_backintSID.log ?

Also please verify the permissions/owner of brarchive executable
