export fails with error in BRCONNECT when export is started

venu_katamneni — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 02:55:57 GMT

We are attempting to do a Homogenious system copy of a NW7.0 sytem

including Enhancment Pack 1 ABAP only. This is to do a unicode

conversion. We have a distributed environment with a dbserver

(slsapdb1) and CI (slsapapp1).

If we run the sapinst as root on slsapapp1 we are stuck on the

following error in BRCONNECT trying to run the stats.

WARNING 2009-06-22 20:17:29.611

CJSlibModule::writeWarning_impl()

code 3. Output:

ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

BR0310E Connect to database instance X02 failed

That dir is on the dbhost not the CI host. This is how we operate normally.

We just wanted to give a try by running SAPINST on the DB server.

When we try to run this as root on the db host we get an error

populating the sapinst screens.

status ERROR ( Last error reported by the step :Assertion failed: in

component: NW_getDBInfo

step:fillContext

at this point the dbtype has to be != ind).

Could somebody help (guide) us as to how we could resolve the issue? Thanks

That file is the central configuration file for the br*tools.

Can you start brtools manually on that host?

Yes, We can start BRCONNECT on the database host without any problem.

If you insist of doing the export on the CI I would do the update statistics manually (just enter the given command on the database server) and deselect it for the export in sapinst.

Thanks Markus. We will try to do it that way and hope that we won't be forced to run stats via SAPINST later on in the process. Will keep you posted.

Hello Venu,

Best of option to run export is from Database host. You have said you cannot get sapinst screens properly when you running from sapinst

can you chek this

1. Make sure you only have acitve profile in /usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile. Remove all other profile including backup profile.

If you still have issues

2. Skip update statistics from sapinst and run them manually using BR tools.

Thank You,

Praveen
