not sure on you OS, but these are the steps we use on solaris.

SAPCAR all file except:

~SAPEXEDB.SAR

~SAPEXE.SAR

~dw_180_10004471.sar

Then SAPCAR these:

~SAPEXEDB.SAR

~SAPEXE.SAR

~dw_180_10004471

rm *.sar

rm *.SAR

rm -r sar

chmod 4775 saposcol

chown root:sapsys saposcol

chmod 4755 brarchive brbackup brconnect

chmod 755 brrestore brrecover brspace

chown ora<SID>:sapsys brarchive brbackup brconnect

chown ora<SID>:dba dbatoolsora.lst libsbt.so sapdba_role.sql

Make a copy of the old exe file (in /sapmnt/<SID>/)

cd into HOME dir

stopsap

saposcol -k

cd into dir where new files are kept

cp -pR all files into the exe dir e.g. cp -pR * /sapmnt/DR3/exe

cd into HOME dir

saposcol -l

startsap

and if it don't work, use the backup files
