Former Member

Hi,

We are running ECC 6.0 on Solaris SPARC with Oracle. We would like to perform backup of sap_dir using BRTools. In order to peform backup of sap_dir, one has to start BRTools via root user since some of the directories / files under sap_dir are owned by root. How do we configure BR*Tools to be run as root user?

Thanks.

Hi,

When I run BR*Tools with ora<sid> user, it works fine, which means the environment variables of ora<sid> are properly set. Secondly, I had tried su root, as mentioned in the SAP Note. But, of no avail.

Thanks.

Hi,

are you sure that you used the command "su root" and not the command "su - root"?

As suggested in sap note you have to use the command "su root" so root keep the enviroment of oraSID user.

Hi,

SAP Note 64912 explains that in order to perform backup of sap_dir, we need to start BR*Tools via root user, but with the environment variables of ora<sid> user.

It asks us to login initially as ora<sid> user and then switch to root via su root command. And then run BR*Tools. However, when we tried to do the same thing, we got the following error message:

brtools : not found

Any idea, how to start BR*Tools via root user but with the environment variables of ora<sid> user?

Thanks
