Hi,

Go ahead and delete the *.lock file and restart BEBACKUP.

It will work.

Hi Suhas,

I have checked it, there is no file in the name of lock which is given in error message.

hi

the file name is

> .lock.brb

not

> lock.brb

there is a little difference between both.

The one reported by BRBACKUP starts with a "dot".

In unix, the initial "dot" means that it is a hidden file, therefore you will not find it unless you know it is hiddlen.

It looks like you do not know that, so it is normal you do not find it.

do the following to delete the file

> rm /oracle/BDP/sapbackup/.lock.brb

and start brbackup again

Hi,

The .lock.* file is an hidden file so you will have to search as using ls -hl | grep .lock*

I hope this should resolve the issue.

Hi,

I'd like not to sound offensive but:

-> thread is closed, solution already provided

-> your reply is almost the same as the one with the solution

-> you add new information that is "NOT" correct (or not correct for all "unix")

what you want to achieve should be with the command

> ls -al | grep .lock*

if you are located on the directory where the lock file is

> -a Lists all entries, including those that begin with a

> dot (.), which are normally not listed.

> -h All sizes are scaled to a human readable format, for

> example, 14K, 234M, 2.7G, or 3.0T. Scaling is done by

> repetitively dividing by 1024.

I wonder, why the answer not adding any useful information

Hi Fidel,

Sorry for this. The soution of this error givne by all but due to hidden file that is taken time to resolved this issue.

Solution:

I have checked hidden file in specific path with command

#ls -li .lock.brb

I found this file

First i rename this file with this command

rm .lock.brb .lock.brb.old

after that i go in sm13 and schedule online backup with immediately option. I checked the status of backup the backup was satarted.

Thanks for all of you to provide prompt solution. Really i am sorry solution not mentioned in the blogs.

All are elegable for reward points.

Hi Peter,

You are ok the typing mistake done by me.

The command is

Move Command

1. mv .lock.brb .lock.brb.old

After that i delete the same file with remove command which is given by you.

Thanks for your correction.

Hi,

I do not think you will find the patches mentioned.

Why don't you follow the recommendation given by the error:

> BR071E BRBACKUP currently running or was killed.

> BR072I Please delete file /oracle/BDP/sapbackup/.lock.brb if BRBACKUP was killed.

> BR073E Setting BRBACKUP lock failed.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Please delete the *.lock file and try to execute BRBACKUP.

It should not give any problem.

Hi Sir,

There is no file in the name of which is given in the error message " lock.brb" .

I am checking this file as per givnen path in error message. "/oracle/BDP/sapbackup/ "

SAP 4.0B

SUN Solaris 7.5

Patch level is 795

When we run DB12 the Backup details are given only upto 01-March-2008 after that no record is available. Because this problem comes on 1 March, 2008 during the online backup.

Thanks,
