Hi
Are u taking the offline backup on disk or tape. Your log seems to be mentioning it to be on tape. Anyways, have you set the /oracle/SID/102_64/dbs/initSID.sap file parameters accordingly. Also the log says that there has been a user intervention to stop the backup. Did you press Cntrl C in the process. Offline backups to tape is a bit tricky aand even we are fighting on this. I would suggest taking it on disk and then transferring it to tape.

Offline backup failing when scheduled using DB13

Hi,
We have done our backup schedule of our BI 7 system running on AIX 5.3 and Oracle 10.2 using DB13.The activities like online backup and datbase check is executing correctly but offline backup is failing with status unknown.
If i check in sm37 for the DBA job offline backup is showing status completed successfully but in brbackup logs there is no log for the offline backup activity.
Kindly provide your suggestion on how i can resolve this issue.

Hi Ammey,
Thanks for your reply.
When I trigger the backup directly from brtools offline backup is happening successfully.The issue is happening only for the db13 scheduled offline backup.The same thing happened for Update statistics but check db is executed.
So what has to be checked in backint settings pls provide you suggestion.

Hi,
If the solution is not yet available:
1) User does not have privilege:
insufficient privilege: Not authorized --> Just Grant BACKUP_ADMIN system privilege to the user
2) In the Command you have to give only Backup Prefix not the absolute path:
backup data using file ('COMPLETE_DATA_BACKUP_04_04');
is correct command.

Configure Offline Backup using db13

Hey Experts,
I am new to db2. Currently the database is running in nolog mode. So only offline backup can be taken. But Offline backup cannot be scheduled using db13 for db2.
I need help to change the parameters in db2.Currently the databse is in no log mode.I will have to change to a log mode to enable online backup. I would need a step by step guidance for that part.
PS: I am normally generous with points
Edited by: Atrai Mukherjee on Feb 14, 2008 1:24 PM

As of SAP Netweaver 7.0 SP12 and SAP systems based on kernel 7.10, The DBA Planning Calendar backup job does no longer support offline backups. Any offline backup, which has already been scheduled, will automatically be converted into an online backup with the INCLUDE LOGS option.
It is always recommended to configure SAP Database to run in archive log mode.
When a log file is filled with records, the db2logmgr is called by the database to copy the log file into the directory of the db cfg parameter LOGARCHMETH1/2. The copied log file is the offline log. When all referenced pages have been written from the buffer pool(s) to disk, the online log file is ready for renaming in the log_dir directory. A copy remains as an offline log in the archive directory.
Log files that reside in the archive directory can be archived to storage with db2tapemgr.
The initial setting of the DB CFG parameters LOGARCHMETH1 (and, if necessary, LOGARCHMETH2) has to be changed after the installation to enable roll-forward recovery. To view the logging configuration of your database, call transaction ST04, choose Backup and Recovery → Logging Parameters or use
the following command:
db2 get db cfg for <dbsid>
To change the logging configuration to the productive logging mode you have to
issue the following command:
db2 .update db cfg for <dbsid> using LOGARCHMETH1 disk:<archive destination>.
After updating db2 database parameter for logarchiving , shutdown SAP and deactivate db2 to take offline backup.
If you do not enable archive log point in time recovery is not possible and you have to shutdown SAP and deactivate database everytime you take offline backup.

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

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

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

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.
Ruchit.

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?

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.

Action recorded using RAW open step will not work with layered PSDs

Hello,
The title says it all.
I have an action for resizing photos (and some other things), that I want to make general enough to work on NEF's, JPG's and PSD's. When I recorded the action I used a NEF file and the action works great also for JPEGs and also PSDs that don't have layers. When running the action on a layered PSD, the step immediately after the "open" step fails, no matter what it is. For example, if it's "hue/saturation", I get the error "hue/saturation not available".
So I was thinking that the image should be first flattened so I added 2 additional steps just after the open: one to add a dummy 0-opacity layer and another step to flatten the image. But no matter what, I keep getting an error at the step after the open: "new adjustment layer not available" or the like.
I'm thinking that the problem is with the open step actually. For some reason, the o CameraRaw open step is unable to produce a suitable image out of a layered PSD.
Is there a workaround for this? Thanks!

Thanks for the explanation.
However, I am still puzzled as to how the programme can detect lack of time code when the tape was not even rewound or played. I belive the time code is written on the tape.
Anyway, I tried iMovie and found that the programme detects the camera and controls it. However, it does not recognise the downconverted DV signal. When I turned the DV conversion off, the video was detected and imported using MagicMovie in HD. I still have not gone round to burning on a DVD. ( I only read the article mentioned by Sue after having tried the iMovie programme - somehow the link that was so clearly stated in the reply missed my notice earlier on).
I have actually recorded the downconverted DV video on a standalone Phillips DVD recorder but the DVD only plays in that recorder and my Mac DVD Player even tho I have finalised the +R disk. The same problem occurs with a +RW disk.
I appreciate the replies and the explanations. Thanks.

Hi Jörg,
we use simple server based batch scripts . These scripts use the functionality provided by the BPA Admin tool to perform different tasks. You can either start macros inside the tool or perform other tasks like backing up the DBs etc.
This is a very simple by proven way to automate server based activities. We use this since the old ARIS days

Scheduled webi reports fail, why? If I restart BO services they work again

Hello.
I'm having a problem with my scheduled Webi reports and I don't know what is causing it. I have some reports scheduled to run at 8:00 am, and are supposed to be sent to a determined e-mail. Last week it worked well and the reports were sent to their destination successfuly, then this week the same reports didn't reach their destination. I verified in the History option and all of them showed a Failed status. I checked the detail and this is what it shows:
Unexpected exception caught. Reason: [java.lang.NullPointerException: i_statusInfo is null.]
If I try to reschedule these reports or any other report or a new report I get the same error. The only way I can make the schedule option work again for my webi reports is restarting BusinessObjects services.
But I guess this is not the right solution.
What can I do? How can I determine what is causing my scheduled webi reports fail?
What does this java.lang.NullPointerException: i_statusInfo is null message mean?
Is there a way I could track the service that is failing? which BO service is the service that manage the Schedule reports?
Any help is welcome.
