Brbackup from DB13 not working

[Private_Member_136672]

Dear experts,

For the past one week suddenly my Offline backup from DB13 has stopped working. I havent change anything on my SAP server or Oracle but its not working.

First I checked DB13 logs. Last messages it is giving me is like as follows

=====================================================

BR148I DBVERIFY will be used for verification

BR134I Unattended mode with 'force' active - no operator confirmation allowed

BR370I Directory /oracle/CYP/sapbackup/bdvklqkj created

BR202I Saving init_ora

BR203I to /oracle/CYP/sapbackup/CYP ...

BR202I Saving /oracle/CYP/920_64/dbs/initCYP.sap

BR203I to /oracle/CYP/sapbackup/CYP ...

BR280I Time stamp 2007-06-05 03.00.07

BR198I Profiles saved successfully

BR280I Time stamp 2007-06-05 03.00.07

BR307I Shutting down database instance CYP ...

=============================================

when I checked my previous DB13 successful logs I saw that next message is

Shutdown of database instance CYP successful

Obviously it gave me idea that might be database was not closing out successfully. then I checked and compared my oracle alert logs but havent found very obvious changes their. Please check below messages of alert log. First set of messages are of successful backup and next set is of my recently failed backup

I used to schedule backup at 3 AM but when I came to office next morning my oracle instacne was in idle mode. I checked ps -ef OS command and saw process of brbackup was still there and not a single byte had been taken as backup.

Please help me if you have any clue.

so, the oracle instance was not shut down at all?

are you able to shut down it yourself using sqlplus or sapdba/brtools for example?

which kernel version do you use? 6.20?
