Dear Experts,

I am facing problem while taking Backup using DB13 error: BR0152E Environment variable SAPDATA_HOME is not set........

Environment i am using:

SAP Application Server CI: Windows 2008 R2

SAP Database Instance: Linux

Database: Oracle 11g

//sapmnt is mounted on Linux

what are SAP recommendations on this.. and how to take backup and restore?

Thanks

Hi,

We are currently experiencing an issue with certain background jobs being scheduled/triggered but then getting stuck in ready status and not processing when it gets to their start time.

When they get stuck in ready status we can see in sm37 that the executing server is always the application server.

Our central server is a unix system and our application server(s) are windows both running on the oracle db hosted on the central server.

The jobs that are getting stuck are both technical (RDDIMPDP, SAP_COLLECTOR_PERFMON etc) and user triggered jobs.

I've noticed that sometimes we receive messages stating 'unable to connect to oracle' which im assuming is related as these seem to have picked up with the increase in stuck jobs.

and in work process logs these messages keep appearring:

dblink[db_reconnect]: { new_reconnect_message=1
dbcon[db_con_reconnect]: { reco_trials=3, reco_sleep_time=5
00: name=R/3, con_id=000000000, state=INACTIVE    , tx=NO , bc=NO , hc=NO , perm=YES, reco=NO , info=NO ,
     timeout=000, con_max=255, con_opt=255, occ=NO , prog=
dbcon[db_con_reconnect]: } rc=0
***LOG BV4=> reconnect state is set for the work process [dblink       1999]
***LOG BYY=> work process left reconnect status [dblink       2000]
dblink[db_reconnect]: } rc=0
ThHdlReconnect: reconnect o.k.

does anyone have an idea of where to look to resolve this?

We have looked at sap note 1902517 and tried various values for parameters SQLNET.SEND_TIMEOUT & SQLNET.RECV_TIMEOUT but they have not resolved this. Since upgrading our kernel and support packs on the system it seems to have worsened in our dev environment too (where these parameters were changed).

The only way to get round this is to go in sm37 and start the job off manually but it is too much time to do this for every stuck job.

Let me know if you want more information and thanks in advance

Hi,

To find fragmented objects in the oracle Database normally considering size of segment(table) against (size of the segment - avg_row_len ) if the difference between two is more than GB, then could re-organize the table objects and rebuild the index to claim the space.

But SAP provided a script Space_HighWaterMarkFragmentation.sql which is considering various other factors like initial extents, blocks etc.,

Alias BI stands for basis_Info, Alias T stands for Table & Alias S stands for segment.

   ( BI.INITIAL_GREATER_THAN_HWM = ' ' OR

      T.INITIAL_EXTENT > T.BLOCKS * 8192 AND S.BYTES < T.INITIAL_EXTENT + 64 * 1024 * 1024 ) AND

    'TABLE' LIKE BI.SEGMENT_TYPE AND

    ( T.USER_STATS = 'NO' OR BI.EXCLUDE_USER_STATS_SEGMENTS = ' ' )

so, could you pls. explain any one, in what logic & why SAP uses these type of condition to fetch fragmented objects ??..

And also for to find out/maintains statistics of the Tables, does SAP recommends any specific scripts like above,

Pls. Guide me for the Above.

Best Regards,

Siva..

Hi,

Got Oracle SQL scripts for (space,storage, tablespaces,AWR,ASH,CBO,Resources etc.,).

But require to know the Description/Meaning what exactly from those sql scripts will get the output info(result set), and also where/which situation can be used

For eg like CBOStatistics_SpecialStatistics_11g+(what exactly it does)., Configuration_Procedures etc.,

Some kind of short description can be mentioned in any notes or any body can able to help/guide me.

I really appreciate.

Thanks in Advance,

Hello,

I'm trying to recover the system but during the process I'm getting this error message on brtools:

BR0280I BRTOOLS time stamp: 2014-12-10 18.56.48

BR0251E Function gets() failed at location BrMenuProcess-1

BR0253E errno 12: Not enough space

BR0255E Cannot read from standard input

What does it means Not enough space?

Hello All,

When we update our database statistics using BRConnect, this runs into an error. The error we're getting is given below:

BR0881I Collecting statistics for table SAPR3.RFBLG with method/sample C ...  

BR0280I BRCONNECT time stamp: 2009-03-30 14.02.35                             

BR0301E SQL error -603 at location stats_tab_collect-16                       

ORA-00603: ORACLE server session terminated by fatal error                    

BR0886E Checking/collecting statistics failed for table SAPR3.RFBLG           

BR0280I BRCONNECT time stamp: 2009-03-30 14.02.35                             

After this, BRConnect loses it's connection to Oracle and the job fails. Any attempt to create or delete stats for RFBLG fails with the same error. I've seen note 411773 and the setting in DB21 for the table is correct (active flag = R).

I've already updated BRConnect to the latest version (640 patch 50 in our case).

Does anybody know how to overcome this problem?

Kind regards, Wilbert

I have the need to recover one system, SND, to another, PSS.  Both are running Oracle 11.2.0.4 on HP-UX 11.31.  I have access to HP Data Protector for the recovery but I was informed that I should use brtools to recover one SID to another.

I have tried using the DP GUI and recovery to a new SID doesn't seem possible.  Files from, say /oracle/PSS/sapdata1/file_1/file1.dbf end up in /oracle/SND/sapdata1/oracle/PSS/sapdata1/file_1/file1.dbf.  In other words, using the GUI there is no way to remove the path.

Using The Google i can find bits and pieces of examples but nothing concrete.  The closet I have found is:

"I am in the process of validating the functionality right now. So far it seems to work:

set OB2APPNAME=SID

set OB2HOSTNAME=source_host.domain.name

set OB2BARHOSTNAME=source_host.domain.name

brrestore -m PSAPSIDUSR=H:\ORACLE\SID\SAPBACKUP -b bebktbgr.anf -d util_file"

Anyone have a doc/example they can share?

Thanks

Hi Experts ,

sr3.data25  datafile  has been created twice in two unix file systems  as below ( brspace did not complain )  , what is the best way to rename one file to sr3.data26 while database is up and running ?

Do I have bring tablespace offline ? if it is,  what are the consequences if tablespace is offline ( while DB and SAP is running )  during this change ?

Thanks

Hi Experts

In My ECC system , one lob segment (SYS_LOB0000127459C00004$$)   has grown to 205GB , this lob segment is referenced to  the  table FDT_XML_EXPORT which is only 5 GB.

The lob segment contains large number of XML files, which are stored here with an export.

We will be deleting 200 GB worth of data from this lob segment and will reorganize the table, just wondering if reorg the table will reclaim the space from this LOB segment.

I will be using the command below with the compress lob only  option

brspace -u / -f tbreorg -c clob_only -o sapsr3 -t FDT_XML_EXPORT

Just wondering if the approach is good, or any other better way to do the job,

Thanks

Hi Gurus,

Please suggest What will happen if oracle listener is stopped and started again on a running SAP System ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone

I am having a weired issue with BRRestore in our environment. I am running SAP/Oracle on AIX. I take backup and archive  to external system (TSM) using BRTools/RMAN.

If I take an online consistent backup level 0, and I attemt to restore it; it works fine, except restoring the archive logs. I never succeeded to restore the most recent logs using BRTOOLS, but I can restore older ones. To restore these logs, I have to use RMAN directly.

Any idea or help?

Dear All,

I wanted to make client copy on the same system between two clients from 420 to 410. The copy is running since 20 hours and not finish yet and it showed at the begginng error in two table DDIC but it continues and till now it didn't finish. I have checked sm50 and it's running and in scc3 it's processing and it's showing that it's processing one table. Is this normal? And can we open the source client to some users? What if it took more and more time shall we terminated and what is the effect of cancellation?

Thanks in advance

Hi Gurus,

     we are facing a scenario of system refresh from PRD to QAS, our systems (ECC ehp 5) are in Oracle RAC 11.0.2.4  (with file system, no asm)

     we have an application server in one host, centran instances in other host and the database in the RAC,

     we want to use a oracle backup taked by RMAN, so we want to restore the prod database to our QAS database, then rename the database and      finally perform the sap post activities.

     do you known any sap document that we can follow ? a step by step guide/ note that can help us ?

analysts,

Could someone help me make rezing by BRTOOLS

Hi

I have an ides system installed on Oracle 10.2g.

Hi experts ,

I am getting following error in Oracle ( 11.2.0.3)

When I run sql for redo buffer allocation retries, I get as below

SELECT NAME, VALUE FROM V$SYSSTAT WHERE NAME = 'redo buffer allocation retries';

NAME                                                                  VALUE

How should I resolve this issue ? by increase LOG_BUFFER size ? How do I calculate optimal size ?

Dear experts,

I did not find it in the official documentation at:

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a8910c3a-0d01-0010-a6a9-f4a8aae140fe?overridelayout=t…

so I would like to ask just out of curiosity: Does BRBACKUP support the RMAN incrementally updated backups, as described

in the following link, point 4.4.3:

4.4 RMAN Incremental Backups

Many thanks!
