brtools 7.20 (15) database connect error

[Former Member]

I'm using Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Redhat Linux.

I am getting this error when running brtools commands...

BR0801I BRCONNECT 7.20 (15)

If I run this command I get the error:

/sapmnt/TR3/exe/brarchive -u / -c -p /oracle/TR3/112_64/dbs/initTR3.arch.sap

If I use the user system I do not get th error

/sapmnt/TR3/exe/brarchive -u system/<password> -c -p /oracle/TR3/112_64/dbs/initTR3.arch.sap

The LINUX user oratr3 is part of the dba group:

uid=520(oratr3) gid=200(dba) groups=105(sapinst),200(dba),251(oper)

Any advice?

Hello Bill,

This means that the OPS$ mechanism is not working properly. Check note [400241|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/400241] and change the password of the database user 'SAP<SID>', using the brconnect at OS level.
