Question from Bond on Oct 12 at 10:47 PM Dear All, We have distributed environment and we have recently moved hardware. There were no changes technically, although we are facing below respective problem while performing redo log backups. Redo log Backups are running, respective below error is occurring at the time of deletion of old redo logs. Error - BR0252E Function remove() failed for '/oracle/SID/oraarch/SIDarch1_586_859154667.dbf' at location BrFileDelete-1 BR0253E errno 13: Permission denied As per SAP note 113747 - Owners and authorizations for BR*Tools We checked and set respective permissions although the problem persists on DB node. BR* files under Folder /sapmnt/SID/exe -- >>> ll br* -rwsrwxr-x 1 orasid sapsys 9388559 Mar 5 2014 brarchive -rwsrwxr-x 1 orasid sapsys 9506369 Mar 5 2014 brbackup -rwsrwxr-x 1 orasid sapsys 11409480 Mar 5 2014 brconnect -rwxr-xr-x 1 sidadm sapsys 9960982 Mar 5 2014 brrecover -rwxr-xr-x 1 sidadm sapsys 6178431 Mar 5 2014 brrestore -rwxr-xr-x 1 sidadm sapsys 11846656 Mar 5 2014 brspace -rwxr-xr-x 1 sidadm sapsys 6777151 Mar 5 2014 brtools We have standalone gateway on DB node of cluster/distributed environment and as I See we have files created with respective SIDadm user of gateway in saparch folder. For example - -rw-r--r-- 1 gwpadm sapsys 11814 Oct 10 13:51 aeoxxgmx.cds -rw-r--r-- 1 gwpadm sapsys 13210 Oct 10 15:08 aeoxxkkz.cds -rw-r--r-- 1 gwpadm sapsys 16597 Oct 11 08:05 aeoybcsn.cds -rw-r--r-- 1 gwpadm sapsys 26452 Oct 12 08:06 aeoygano.cds snipnet of /etc/group under DB host as I suspect there might be permissions issues, so I have added gwpadm to both group dba and sapsys along with orasid, sidadm, and sjpadm which is a java addin installation. dba:!:108:oracle,sidadm,sjpadm,lyceus,gwpadm,orasi d sapinst:!:1000:root,sapadm,sidadm,daaadm,sjpadm,sm 1adm,orasid,da1adm,gwpadm sapsys:!:1001:lyceus,orasid,gwpadm,sidadm,sjpadm oper:!:1002:sidadm,sjpadm,orasid,gwpadm lyceus:!:1004:lyceus,sapsys,dba May I know where I can see, using which user redo log are getting deleted and I have tried deleting manually using all users ( sidadm, orasid, gwpadm, sjpadm) all users can delete redo log files successfully. Appreciate point to focus here. Thanks, Bond | Reply to this email to post your response. __.____._ | _.____.__ |
