Initialize Tape error using DB13

Hello everyone,
I'm just a beginner in SAP as Basis Administrator. I'm trying to simulate the Online Backup using the BRTOOLS, wherein you manually set the volume_group for tape, the initialize tape and backup is successful. When i used db13 doing the initialize tape, it was tagged as SCRATCH that makes my backup failed.
I want to know, why and how will the initialization of tape using DB13 be a success? Why it was tagged as SCRATCH? I want to make this work so i can schedule online backup to our PROD server.
Thanks and regards,
Gelyne

Hi,
go to init<SID>.sap and check this parameter are set or not
volume_backup = (SIDB01, SIDB02, SIDB03, SIDB04, SIDB05.........)
volume_archive = (SIDA01, SIDA02, SIDA03, SIDA04, SIDA05..........)
if not check with you hardware vendor and ask for tape lebel name
because system is not get tape lebel in init<SID>.sap file that why it is searching
for SCRACH tape label and failing with error

    Hi Swathi
    This is clearly a space problem. There is not enough free space left to perform the backup..
    So you need to make sure that there is enough space available for backup...
    This part of error:
    R252E Function fflush() failed for '/oracle/CRD/sapbackup/bdvozytd.tib' at location main-9
    <b>R253E errno 28: No space left on device</b>
    R121E Processing log file /oracle/CRD/sapbackup/bdvozytd.tib failed
    clearly states that the issue is related to space on the device..
    So clean up the space and try taking the backup again and it will be surely a success!
    No need for media recovery.

    No password has been cahnged and it is for all the jobs we can schedule from DB13 like check db, optimizer stats, online backup , verify database etc. that they fail on first attemt and on second ist Successful i wonder wats the problem. its happening in only thsi Production Node. As its in clustering the other node is working fine.

    Hello,
    this is the SQL Server forum. We can't use BRBACKUP. If you have a Oracle database you might get better answers in the Oracle forum. If you have a SQL Server database use DB13 or the SQL Server Development Stuido for scheduling a database backup.

  • Can't initialize OCI error occured during the login process using TOAD 9.0

    I have installed the Toad 9.0 recently while login using the username & password for oracle 10.0 database , i am getting the error
    Can't initialize OCI Error 1
    But i am able to login using the Sql Plus successfully..
    Thanks in Advance.

    Here's one more reason why this error occurs in Toad. It is when you have more than one Oracle Client installed on your machine. Even when you select the correct Oracle Home in "Connect Using" field of Toad, you still get this error "Can't initialize OCI. Error -1". So, to solve that you need to go to the installation folder of that Oracle Home (e.g. C:\Oracle\ora92\), then go to the BIN folder. Open Oracle.Key in Notepad and confirm that it is showing Registry entry/path to the correct Oracle Home (e.g. HOME0 or HOME1 or whatever).
    I hope this helps.

  • 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:

    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.

    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.

  • MC DAQ initialize.vi error

    Hello,
    I am trying to use  MC DAQ Initialize.vi for reading some CCP  and I have the bellow error
    -301034
    MC DAQ Initialize.vi
    Error -301034 occurred at MC DAQ Initialize.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    ECU Measurement and Calibration Toolkit:  (Hex 0xFFFB6816) The definition of the measurement could not be found in the A2L file. Most likely, the name of the measurement is misspelled or otherwise invalid, or the A2L database file has been corrupted. Solution: Make sure that the name of the measurement is spelled correctly and that the A2L database file is valid.
    The a2l database is ok cause i'm using with other Vi's. Also the names of signals are copied exactly from a2l file so there is no typo error.
    Does anybody encountered this issue or can somebady help with an idea?
    Thanks,
    Vincent

    Hello Vincent,
    You should be able to open the A2L file with notepad.  I would suggest opening it and searching for your measurement.  If you can find it, then the name must not be a typo.  There may be something inside the measurement that our parser is having trouble with.  If you could copy the section for your measurement here, we may be able to see what is going on.  (You can use dummy values for addresses, etc when you paste the part here.)
    You can also try running the M_C Explorer example that ships with the toolkit (Help-Find Examples. Hardware Input and Output -> CAN -> NI-CAN -> ECU Measurement and Calibration -> Advanced).  This example opens all the measurements and characteristics in the A2L file, so you can see which values you have access to and if they are configured properly.
    I hope that helps.  Have a great day.

    Hi TW222,
    Below I have attached a reply that I gave to someone else with a similar problem on this forum.  The engine you have is contemporary, but I did not work on it at HP and I am not sure it provides the same messaging.  The note below has the error "Remove Shipping Lock" but you suggest sealing tape error (It is the SAME thing).  Please respond if this solution helps in your case.  We have seen the error in several different machines with non-HP cartridges, but the 1215 I have not heard of similar reports.

  • Offline Backup in SQL Database using DB13

    Hi experts,
    I am new to MSSQL database.
    We are using ECC 6 with MSSQL 2005. In DB13 we get the following options.
    Full Database backup
    Diff DB backup
    Transaction Log Backup
    Check DB consistency
    We do not have the option to take a offline backup from DB13.
    My question is, weather it is possible to take a offline backup in MSSQL.
    If yes could please give me the procedure for doing a offline backup using DB13.
    Thanks in advance for the response.
    Regards
    Anil

    Lol, No by definition SAP and SQL would need to be down to take that type of file backup.
    Offline backups are not a supported recovery method.
    Online backups will allow for PIT or full recovery.
    Offline backups will not be report in SQL or SAP as you haven't backup the database - rather just the files.

  • I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories etc. I want to format it and use it on my IMAC for backup but I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

    I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories copied to it etc. I want to use it on my IMAC for backup. I see it on my my IMAC . I can open files etc.  But I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. I don't care if I lose current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

    You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
    If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
