Hi,
BR0301E SQL error -12546 at location db_connect-2, SQL statement:
'CONNECT /'
ORA-12546: TNS:permission denied
BR0310E Connect to database instance QAS failed
From the above errors, I am guessing that you may be trying to run CheckDB / Update statistics jobs from DB13 for REMOTE DB Instance located on Remote Host (i.e. QAS instance).
If my guess is right then,  please refer [SAP Note 1256322 - Establishing a remote database connection in DBACOCKPIT|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1256322] and do the required settings as listed in that SAP Note 1256322 and then retry.
Also ensure that latest BR*tools is in use with the required permissions on local/remote hosts.
Permissions 4775 should be there for brarchive, brbackup, brconnect, brtools with owner ora<sid> and group sapsys.
Permissions 755 should be there for brrestore, brrecover, brspace with owner <sid>adm and group sapsys.
Use the following commands to change the permissions & owners/groups for the same.
chmod 4775 brarchive, brbackup, brconnect, brtools
chown ora<sid>:sapsys brarchive, brbackup, brconnect, brtools
chmod 755 brrestore, brrecover, brspace
chown <sid>adm:sapsys brrestore, brrecover, brspace
ORA-12546: TNS:permission denied
If QAS is the remote DB host, then copy+paste the TNS entry in file tnsnames.ora of monitoring system (located at /oracle/<SID>/<Rel>_64/network/admin location). Its guided in the above suggested SAP Note 1256322. then check the connectivity using tnsping <Instance ID>. It should be completed with success and response time.
