Hi,
not sure if the recommendations given will address this issue.
You are getting this error:
BR0301E SQL error -1017 at location BrDbConnect-2, SQL statement:
'CONNECT /'
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
the log file indicates:
> No application server found on database host - rsh/gateway will be used
This indicated that the user that is connecting from the AS to the DB server is not properly configured to perform the DB tasks on it.
So, first question would be to know if you have configured a gateway on the DB server and how, or if you are using remote shell.
Second question, you can do backups on the DB server.
> I can run backupjob sucessfully directly from BRtools on database server
How did you run exactly the backup job (what is the exact command line, what is the exact OS user that executed it)?
What is the OS of the DB server?
I have reread your post, your OS is windows therefore you fall in the "typical" error in Windows.
You have executed your backup as <sid>ADM and it works. Unfortunatelly, in windows, SAP is exectuted by SAPSERVICE<sid>, and this is the user who should be connecting to your DB server, and this is the user who cannot execute the backup.
The fact that you can run the backup with <sid>ADM in Windows does not means that you have SAPService<sid> properly configured.
For the error (see before) I think your ops$ user for this user is not properly configured in the DB server. take a look at the note mentioned by KT and pay attention to the SAPSERVICE<sid> configuration

  • Help! job scheduled in DB13 cannot run successfully

    Hi! I am a basis administrator of an automobil company.
    Job scheduled in DB13 in our PRD system cannot run successfully.
    We have Central instance(ci) and Database instance(db) installed on seperated hosts. We use SUN cluster 3.1 technology.
    The problem occurs after my college restarted the whole system accidentally. After that, all the job scheduled in DB13 report the same error,job log looks like:
    Job started
    Step 001 started (program RSDBAJOB, variant &0000000000192, user ID ***)
    No application server found on database host - rsh will be used
    Execute logical command BRCONNECT On host orahost
    Parameters: -u / -c -f check

    BR252E Function fopen() failed for '/oracle/PR1/sapcheck/cduuoiij.chk' at location main-8
    BR253E errno 2: No such file or directory
    I manually type the 'rsh' command on ci to invoke 'brconnect' on db. It works all right. And I check the rfc destination 'SAPXPG_DBDEST_ORAHOST' in sm59 , it's normal. There is no gateway instance on database server.
    The parameter 'SAPDBHOST' = orahost (the database server is  called orahost)
    the parameter 'SAPLOCALHOST' = cihost(the central instance is located on cihost)
    Any suggestion is very appreciated.
    Thx!

    Hi Joe,
    DB13 will run only on application server as for that matter any SAP program. It will then connect to database at OS level. I mean you normal reports also fetch data from database for which they have to connect to DB  but they all run on application server. The problem is coming in connection to database through the application layer.
    Please again review the OSS notes sent by Sunil and me. I think a greater focus on Sunil`s notes should help you out.
    Regards.

  • Error: Sheduled Backup Job Problem

    Dear all.
    I've been getting a problem with a scheduled backup job through OEM since yesterday which I'm not able to find out why as it was working fine. When I access OEM I can see that I have a problem execution and when I investigate why it says "Unable to perform the backup because the database is closed". But my db is open for sure and I'm able to execute the backup from RMAN command line normally. I shut my db down and started it up again but didn't work. Does anybody know why this is happening?

  • OEM ERROR: Run backup job from Enterprise Maneger failed

    After configuring backup policy on my database by means of OEM console (Oracle 9.2, OEM 9.2.0.1) scheduled job failed. Job Output show:
    "Could Not Find C:\WINNT\TEMP\3212132705.44]" (square bracket at the end of filename). This file (without bracket) exist and contain rman's script.
    But how can I force OEM (or RMAN or other product) remove last square bracket!

    I had the same problem of not discovering nodes and teh problem escalated to a point that jobs remained in "submitting" or "deleting" status. I couldn't delete nodes becuase jobs were dependent on it, and couldn't delete jobs because the node was manually configures.
    The following steps are by trial and error and got me back to a working status where nodes are discovered. Try them at your own risk :)
    Oracle Agent doens't seem to like changing IPs... if your machine IP has changed do the following:
    1. Stop the Agent service (under control panel)
    2. under Oracle's folder, ora92/network/agent, backup all the .q and .ora files and delete them. If it does not allow you to delete, disable the Agent service, reboot the computer and try to delete them
    3. Start the agent service (if you had disabled it, change the startup back to "automatic"
    4. I dropped the OEM repository and recreated it. Not sure if it helped or not, you can do the same or just go ahead and start OMS.
    Hope it helps, again, no garantee this works. It did work on my computer.

    Thanks & Regards,

    There is no problem if you delete oracle/BWD/sapreorg/bwd.data1 prior to backup. It will come again since you are using Verify option with BRBACKUP.
    What happens when you use verify option is Once the backup phase is complete, all the saved files are restored from the volume (for example, tape) in sequence to the temperory directory (in this case /oracle/BWD/sapreorg), decompressed (when compress = yes was used), read by the check program, and compared with the originals. And the check program being used is dbverify (command dbv).
    The problem may not be with oracle/BWD/sapreorg/bwd.data1, it may be with the original datafile bwd.data1. What you can do is,
    Run dbv on all your datafiles and check for errors. (recommend to run dbv when database is offline)
    If dbv returns an error, then fix that.
    If there are no errors reported by dbv, then your database is perfect.
    The reason why BRBACKUP gave the error in such a case, as i see it is, since you are doing an online backup, the datafile is first backed up to a backup media. Since verify is ON, the file is restored to the temperory folder. Some changes (even if minor) may occur in the datafile within this time frame and the comparison fails.
    Another chance is if there is no enough space in sapreorg and the restored datafile is not complete.
    If you get an error like "DBV-00102: File I/O error on FILE (/oracle/BWD/sapdata1/bwd.data1) during end read operation (-1)" on the original datafile, then, resizing of the datafile may help.Not sure though.

  • Error message if job scheduling fails.

    Hi,
    I want to catch the message if scheduling fails and send to an email id.
    can this be done?
    how can we do this?
    thanks in advance
    Vikash.

    Hi Vishal,
    I can elaborate on that. I dont have a sample code with me.
    Steps:
    1) Consider the job which is scheduled with the help of SM36 as Job_A
    2) Now, develop one program which needs to be incorporated as Job_B. This Job_B moniors and send whether the first job has triggered successfully, running or not.
        a) Now, to develop the program I would request you to take a look at the table TBTCO first.
        b) This table will have details of all the jobs that were scheduled in the system.
        c) Create a work area of the type TBTCO structure and try to fetch the details of the job which you 
            have triggered already.
        d) Now, check the value of the status of the job in the work area.
        e) if it is active/ready/released, then dont take any action.
         f) if it is cancelled or failed, then try to implement the logic of sending an e-mail with the contents
            saying the job has failed to run.
    3) Note: Remember to run this monitoring job Job_B after sometime the Job_A has started.
    Hope this much information would pull your mind to incorporate it easily
    Thanks,

  • Error in background job scheduling in Solman 7.0

    Hi Experts,
    I am working with Solman 7.0 configuration. In the IMG node for Scheduling background jobs (Solution manager-> General Settings), while following the documentation to schedule the jobs, I am facing issues with the following jobs:
    1. *SEND_SYSTEM_RELATIONSHIP_TO_SUPPORT *
    This job got cancelled on immediate scheduling, however has been scheduled for next day. What could be the reason by which it got cancelled?
    2. AI_SDK_FILL_FILE_TYPE_TABLE
    I cant find a job of this name in the system (while all other jobs are already available in the system by default). But, there is a program with the same name. Should I schedule the same in SM36?
    Regards,
    Arun.

    Hi,
    Yes schedule a job with program AI_SDK_FILL_FILE_TYPE_TABLE. Hope this solves your problem.
    Feel free to revert back.

  • Backup job status: Skipped?

    hi, does anyone know what does that mean?
    I found a backup job schedule day missing, checked the job, it says "Skipped", where could i check what happened, no additional info found.
    Simon

    At a guess the backup window closed before the backup started.
    Was this status reported in your backup software?
    Or, if the message was reported in the Oracle scheduler it was probably because it was delayed past it's start time by more than the specified threshold.

    What is wrong? I scheduled backup job before on this server and it worked.

    OK, putting my 5cents
    1) I do not think the recommendation is good.
    Table SDBAC should only be "touched" if indicated by an SAP note.
    2) at the same time, I think it may be part of the problem.
    The OP states:
    > I am trying to schedule Whole offline backup
    also
    > background job in SM37, the Job DBA:ALLOFFLINE___
    and finaly, the command executed is:
    > Parameters:-u / -jid ALLOF20090401210000 -c force -t offline_force -m all -p initDBI.sap -w use_dbv
    That is an OFFLINE backup plus a verification.
    AFAIK, that is not a standard SAP JOB.
    I assume that someone has changed the entry in SDBAC introducing this "new" action.
    DB13 does not have coded such action, therefore it is not able to find it on the "control" tables and also it is not able to find the log.
    Advise
    1) check if someone changed that entry
    2) check if there any "beagpiht*" log file in your system
    3) do not play with SDBAC
    Another option would be that you are in a MCOD database. Is that the case?

  • Errors during backup of MSSQL 2005 using DB13

    Hi,
    I have an ECC 5.0 system, and when I try to perform any kind of backup of a MSSQL 2005 database using DB13 I get an error like this:
    Modified:  2006-12-05 11:43:55.

               failed.                                                
    The strange thing is that if I create a new backup device in MS SQL Server Management Studio, and assign a backup job to use this backup device, the backup is successfull... but only the first time I schedule the backup. Following backup attempts to same device fails with the error message above.
    Any ideas, anyone?
    Regards,
    Thomas

    Hi Kan,
    So your suggestion is that I should run a backup with the format media option selected? I believe I have tried that, but I will nevertheless give it another go.
    Will keep this thread open in the mean time.
