Hello Balakrishnan,

the ORA-12640 is usually pointing to an TNS authentication problem.

Please check your sqlnet.ora file for the following entry:

>SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)

If it is not set ... please insert the line in the sqlnet.ora file and try it again.

For more information take a look at here:

HI..

I think I face the same problem. I can not perform online backup+online redolog backup using DB13...

I can schedule the job,but the job never run at all...

and I could not found action log or job log on DB13....

(How can I know what happened if there is no job log or action log??)

Could I retrieve any information at OS level?

It seems there may be a log under OS level about my backup but I do not know

where to find it..

Actually now, my /SAPMNT is also full (100%)

how to reduce it? I tried to delete logs under global folder but it only reduce 3%

and I do it everyday (should I do it for the rest of my live?)

I'm a new basis.. can you help me ??

Hi Bala,

Please make sure that you have applied the latesh patches for BRTools and Oracle to resolve this issue.

Also, are you able to run the brbackup from the commandline. If this runs ok and it does not run from DB13 then make sure that your "SAPServicesid." has full control on the folders containing the BRTools executables. It would be better to add the SAPService to the Administrator group as well as an workaround.

......and of corse the latest available patchset (10.2.0.2.0) and minipatch (currently 10.2.0.2.17).

I have changed the parameter, but still the issue still persists. After changing the parameter I have noticed that I was unable to transport so had to revert the change mades in SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION.SERVICES.

PLease help me to take a successfull backup. Awaiting for you valuable inputs.

[Former Member]

please do not change SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION.SERVICES parameter in sqlnet.ora

if you set it to NONE, no database connection using operating systems groups/accounts will be possible.

connect /

connect / as sysdba

will no longer work.
