brconnect -u // -c -f check

BR0801I BRCONNECT 7.40 (26)

BR0805I Start of BRCONNECT processing: ceuebbhz.chk 2016-09-29 10:16:27

The problem occures with sidadm and orasid.

The OS is linux redhat 6 and the database is ORACLE 12c.

Does someone have an explanation ?

Thanks for your help

Hi Olivier,

Please check if the problem is the one as mentioned in note 952080.

If not, please increase brtools trace level to 7 by executing following command:

brconnect -u // -c -f check -TRC 7

Then attach the latest trace again.

Best regards,

James

Hi,

Thanks for you advise. It helps me to find the corrections. The problem comes from the use of symbolinc links whith relative path. I chane the link whith the absolute path and now it works correctly.

Before

mirrlogA -> sapdata/mirrlogA

mirrlogB -> sapdata/mirrlogB

origlogA -> sapdata/origlogA

origlogB -> sapdata/origlogB

saparch -> sapdata/saparch

sapbackup -> sapdata/sapbackup

sapcheck -> sapdata/sapcheck

dsapdata

sapdata1 -> sapdata/sapdata1

sapdata2 -> sapdata/sapdata2

sapdata3 -> sapdata/sapdata3

sapreorg -> sapdata/sapreorg

saptrace -> sapdata/saptrace

security -> sapdata/security

After

mirrlogA -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/mirrlogA

mirrlogB -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/mirrlogB

origlogA -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/origlogA

origlogB -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/origlogB

saparch -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/saparch

sapbackup -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/sapbackup

sapcheck -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/sapcheck

sapdata1 -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/sapdata1

sapdata2 -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/sapdata2

sapdata3 -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/sapdata3

sapdata4 -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/sapdata4

sapdata5 -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/sapdata5

sapdata6 -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/sapdata6

sapdata7 -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/sapdata7

sapreorg -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/sapreorg

saptrace -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/saptrace

security -> /oracle/TST/sapdata/security

Hi, can you check the enviroment variables for sidadm user?
Is SAPDATA_HOME set correctly ?
Do you have some kind of links in configuration?

BR, Sergo.
