For JAVA logs check the below link...

For Oracle logs check the user trace and Background trace under /oracle/<SID>/saptrace
For BR tools logs you can check DB12 this is for Backup, Redo logs etc.,
For DB calendar DB13, For memory related settings check ST04.
DB16,DB17 also can be used to check the DB logs.
BRBACKUP writes the following file system logs:
<SAPDATA_HOME>/sapbackup/b<encoded timestamp>.<ext>
Every detail log contains information about the status of the ORACLE database at the time of the corresponding backup and about the actions that were performed during the course of that backup.
<SAPDATA_HOME>/sapbackup/back<DBSID>.log
This summary log contains a brief entry for each backup.  Among other things, this log shows the return code of every backup.
BRBACKUP also records its actions in the database tables SDBAH and SDBAD.

Normally all Oracle problems starts with the string ORA-XXXXX ( X - represents numbers ).
