Backup failed after the kernel patch upgrade

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

I have problem to creating a backup right after the SAP kernel upgrade.

My system environments are following:

SAP R3 4.6C with kernel patch level 4.6D 2337 (previous from 1655)

HPUX 11.0 with Oracle 8.1.7

Omniback II v 3.5

Error message:

BR280I Time stamp 2007-11-13 17.47.17

BR229I Calling backup utility...

The SAP system runs fine beside this backup problem.

Does anyone know what is wrong with it and any possible solution?

Thanks for listening.

Hi Lee,

is backint there in your exe directory .. it will be a softlink .. Also make sure the permissions of br* files especially the s bit ( check note 113747 )

thanks

Dear Prince Jose,

Problem solved!

I have checked the file permission for br* files, they all have s bit.

The script "saproot.sh" changed my original file permission 775 to 4775 for br* files.

After changing back to my original file permission, I am able to make the backup again.

Thanks.
