SQL error -1017 at location db_connect-2, SQL statement (ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied)

[Former Member]

Hello,

I´m facing one problem during the post-upgrade activities after an oracle database. I did an oracle database from 11.2.0.4 to 12.1.0.2 version (in Windows Server 2012 R2). I´m following the oracle database upgrade 12.1c guide from SAP (windows) and now I´m doing the "5 Post-Upgrade Steps" chapter.

When I try to run the following commands (Oracle database statistics) it show me an error!

brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t system_stats

brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t oradict_stats

brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t all -f collect -p 4

BR0804I BRCONNECT terminated with errors

I searched for a solution and I read the sap note 1576837 - ORA-01017: invalid username/password; but unfortunately I can´t find a solution for this error!

I´m running the latest version of BR*Tools 7.21 (patch 600)... the SAP Kernel is the 7.21 EXT UC (X64) version (patch level 619).

I already updated the Oracle Instant Client (998004 - Update the Oracle Instant Client on Windows)... I´m running the OIC 12.1.0.2, the latest version of Oracle Instant Client.

I ran the following query with the goal to understand if some core oracle users are locked or not... but it seems to me ok, the main oracle users (SYS; SYSTEM; OPS$ users; SAPSR3):

select username, account_status from dba_users;

Can you help me please to understand how can I correct this...!?

Best regards,

JD

Hi,

     check your db schemas if match to your computer name

     select username from dba_users;

Hello James,

Solved!

The problem was related to the specific OPS$ users in the oracle database... when I ran that select statement (select username from dba_users;) it show me the old OPS$ users, among others, that belongs to the source system... the reason for this is because before of this oracle upgrade activity I performed a SAP system copy to this system and some OPS$ users belongs to that old host, OPS$SAPWINORA\SAPSERVICESWO and OPS$SAPWINORA\SWOADM.

To correct this issues, first I ran the script ORADBUSR.sql attached to sap note 50088 - Creating OPS$ users on Windows NT/Oracle

Then you need to make sure that the owner of SAPUSER table is the user OPS$<HOSTNAME>\<SID>ADM

SELECT OWNER FROM DBA_TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'SAPUSER';

If the output of this previous select still contains the old OPS$ user you need to delete it with the following command:

DROP TABLE “OPS$<OLD HOSTNAME>\<OLD SID>ADM”.SAPUSER;

At the end you need to get connection with the command "conn /" as it described James Zhang

Thank you,

João Dimas
