what does this error mean and why can I not find a reference to it ?

[Former Member]

In my continuing saga to get the type of backups I want our new Basis

Admin had me use the brarchive option -ds to brbackup

brbackup -u / -p init$.sap -t online -m full -c -a -ds

the brarchive option being -ds

when the above was executed it gave the error

BR0197E Chained start not supported for '-ds'

I can find no reference to BR0197E anywhere

-pete

why not use the (consistent!) online_cons method? all redologs written during backup will be saved as well...

> brbackup - u / -t online_cons -m all -c

Hi,

Found it as an "Info" message, not "Error". But it seems your case:

<i>BR197I Chained start not supported for '%s'

Explanation: A BRBACKUP and BRARCHIVE backup in a single run is not supported for all combinations of parameters or options (for example, not for backups to disk with backup_dev_type = disk ).

Program response: The BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE run terminates.

User action: Do not use the parameter or option in the message for the chained start.</i>
