DB12 not showing BRBACKUP logs

[Former Member]

Hello,

In our R3 system with 46C, DB12 is not showing the logs for BRBACKUP.

It is, however, showing the logs for BRARCHIVE.

When I click on DB12 --> Overview of Database Backups, nothing happens and my session remains at the same screen. The session is not frozen or hung, it simply does not produce any results upon clicking this button.

If I click on DB12 --> Last Successful Backup, it shows the logs as follows:

Database backup log from / / : : .

Return code: 0000 Success Database host: <hostname>

No action log for this action found in the database

Check the detail log

Clicking on Detail Log, it shows:

Detail log: .

########.###########..#########

lost+found##########IPR#########bdvprvve.and############bdvragne.and############bdvrfeie.and############bdvrkcdp.and#######

####bdvrozyk.and############bdvrtrdj.and############restIPR.log#########bdvsireg.and############bdvsnozq.and############bdvssmuy.and############back<SID>.log######

I can't even see these logs from DB14.

At OS level, the directory /sapbackup shows the following files:

-rw-rw---- 1 oraipr sapsys 53019 Jul 22 2007 bdvthggi.and

.

.

-rw-rw---- 1 oraipr sapsys 52965 Jul 23 2007 bdvtmeas.and

-rw-rw---- 1 oraipr sapsys 52965 Jul 24 2007 bdvtrbvy.and

-rw-rr 1 oraipr dba 92 Feb 22 12:47 bdxibozf.pnt

-rw-rr 1 oraipr dba 137 Mar 3 14:03 bdxjyztd.pnt

What can be the issue? What can I do about this? Has this got anything to do with permissions?

Please help. This is very urgent.

Hello Sergo,

DB13 does not show me the logs for BRBACKUP.

At OS level, the permissions for sapbackup folder are:

drwxr-xr-x 4 oraipr dba 1536 Mar 3 14:03 sapbackup

I am also told by the customer that Full Online Backups are taken through NETBACKUP and they are running successfully.

I am not really sure what this NETBACKUP means.

Also, I have some concern regarding the naming of the log files, as can be see in my first message.

Initially, some files are named as bdvtmeas.and,,,,, while the last two files in this folder are named as bdxibozf.pnt,,,,,

Is it possible that the backup logs are not being stored at this location, and hence this whole issue?

Is there any parameter which dictates where the logs are stored.

I would also like to add that BRARCHIVE logs ARE being stored at the server in the usual /saparch directory.

Any further help?

Regards,

Shitij
