DB13 can not find the correct controlfile.

Question

My environment is
Win2003
Oracle 10g

When I use DB13 for the full offline backup, I get the following message:

1.It seems the correct control file can not been found.
I have checked the file "initDEV.ora" and spfile.In them the positions of control file are  "/origlogA/cntrl","/origlogB/cntrl" and "/sapdata1/cntrl".
So I donot know why the process of DB13 cannot find the correct control file and search the file CTL1DEV.ORA.
Because the correct control file could not been backuped,I can not restore and recover the database.
What causes it?

How can I solve this warning? And why it occurs?
Anyone can help me?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Praveen,
I had the same problem as Ryan and Gary on a new XI \ Oracle 10g installation and your suggestion did solve this.  It seems that when you run the first BRTOOLS based backup, Oracle tries to create a PFILE from the automatically generated SPFILE, but the DB user doesn't have rights to delete the SAP.ORA file.  Once you assign SAP_<SAPSID>_GOBALADMIN full rights to the Oracle folder, an updated INIT<SID>.ORA is generated and the default SAP.ORA is deleted on the next BRTOOLS backup run.
Thanks for the tip.
Rgds,
