Hi,
When we run brbackup as user brtadm and orabrt we get the error:

We try to create ops$orabrt user according to oss note 776505. But we get the error message:
create user ops$orabrt identified externally temporary tablespace psaptemp;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01920: user name 'OPS$ORABRT' conflicts with another user or role name
How can we solve this problem?
Best Regards...

Hi,
You are getting the error: ORA-01920: user name 'OPS$ORABRT' conflicts with another user or role name
because you already have that user, to check if the OPS$ user is present run this query:
SELECT * from dba_users;
you should be able to find the OPS$ user, its also possible that due to some configuration issue while installing oracle, the OPS$ user doesn't have the 'Externally' attribute to it.
You can grant the required attributes using 'ALTER USER'
Note 620540 - Authentication Troubleshooting Guide
The above mentioned SAP Note clearly describes the issue you are facing.
