brconnect - job failure in db13

[former_member263733]

I am running db14, and scheduling a job using the "check databse" option button

This is working on other systems. but failing on one particular system. The joblog (sm37) contains this message:

W35198, W35281, W35308, W36207, W41007, WE_DBA, X41947

BR0252E Function stat() failed for '/oracle/BBD/sapbackup' at location BrDiskStatGet-1

BR0253E errno 2: No such file or directory

BR0277E Determination of disk volume status for /oracle/BBD/sapbackup failed

BR0806I End of BRCONNECT processing: cdwfxkyl.chk2007-09-26 14.15.25

BR0280I BRCONNECT time stamp: 2007-09-26 14.15.25

BR0804I BRCONNECT terminated with errors

External program terminated with exit code 3

BRCONNECT returned error status E

From this I infer that it is having a problem accessing /oracle/BBD/sapbackup. However when I check this directory I see that is does exist (ls -l)

drwxrwxrwx 2 oracle dba 96 Sep 26 14:37 sapbackup

Further, these permission and ownership do correspond to the other systems where this particular brconnect job is working.

Again, as always, I am appreciative any suggestions

thanks,

Many thanks for all your suggestions.

After considering the collective replies, I ran sqlplus /nolog @sapdba_role.sql <SID> in the exe folder as <sid>adm.

I honestly thought I had done this, but I was mistaken.

After I ran this, it got past the error I was getting, but it then complained about not finding /oracle/<SID>/sapreorg.

I created it and ran the sql script again and the db13 brconnect job is now running.

Again, thanks to all of you who led me to this conclusion.

Hi Jeff,

The problem may be caused by configuration problems with soft links.

Due to technical reasons, BR*Tools does not accept relative soft links in the SAPDATA_HOME directory.

Hope this is useful

hi,

Check the owner, group, and permissions for BR*Tools and SAPDBA as

described in Note 113747.

Hi Jeff,

You get the error because SAP try to put a file in '/oracle/BBD/sapbackup'

But due to some reason, SAP can't put the file in that path.

Please check the folder

And execute action below using <sid>adm user

cd /oracle/BBD/sapbackup

touch test

rm test

and how you create the sapbackup folder ? its a folder or its a file system ?

Hope this solve your problem.
