I know this question has been asked to death but trust me I've already looked hard but couldn't find the answer. So far I couldn't find any SAP Notes related to this other than saying "to install standalone gateway server on the DB host" and that's it.
So here's my scenario:
I. ERP environment
ERP SID: PRD
Host1: Oracle Database
Host 2: Central Instance
Host 3: Application Server
So you are already familiar with the problem. BR* jobs scheduled via DB13 will not work due to SAPXPG error. Solution of course is to install standalone gateway server in DBHOST (Host2) since rsh is not allowed in our environment.
II. Standalone Gateway Environment
Gateway SID: GWD
Installation Server: Host 2 (same as PRD DB server)
After which I copied the sapxpg and br* executables to the GWD exe directory /sapmnt/GWD/exe and now the SAPXPG_DBDEST_XXX RFC connection works!
But my DB13 jobs are still failing! It seems like when I'm using the GWD gateway, it was trying to execute brconnect as gwdadm which of course has no permission on Oracle binaries! Oracle folders are owned by oraprd:dba so even if gwdadm is part of sapsys, it still will not work.
My question is: After installing the standalone gateway, what next steps are needed to configure in the gateway server to allow it to run DB13 jobs, given that the gateway server has a different SID!
Hi
You need to add gwdadm user to the dba group of the UNIX server.
This way it will have permissions to the ORACLE binaries.

Hi,
Please refer my post on this.

EDIT: The gateway info should have been:
II. Standalone Gateway Environment
Gateway SID: GWD
Installation Server: Host 1 (same as PRD DB server)

Hi Deepak,
When running Online Backup, I'm getting the following error:
BR0252E Function fopen() failed for '/oracle/PRD/sapbackup/bekimxdr.anf' at location main-9
BR0253E errno 13: Permission denied
For CHeckDB, I'm getting the following error:
BR0613E Database instance PRD is shut down
I am expecting these errors because I think brconnect is being run as gwdadm (OS user of Gateway server)!
Hi Lee,
You need to install GWD on Host1 which is your DB server. Then adjust RFC SAPXPG_DBDES_XXX_FRC to have GWD entries. Doing these 2 steps will enable you to take backup using db13.
Note: Ensure that /sapmnt/<SID>/exe is shared on all the hosts.

Deepak Kori
