Messages from BR071E to BR115I

BR071E BRBACKUP currently running or was killed.

Explanation: Only one backup process should be started for each specific database.

Program response: BRBACKUP is not started.

User action: When another BRBACKUP process is running, you have to wait until it is finished. If a BRBACKUP run was canceled, refer to the other messages.

BR072I Please delete file %s if BRBACKUP was killed.

Explanation: This message appears together with BR071E.

Program response: BRBACKUP is not started.

User action: Check whether BRBACKUP is running (e.g. using the UNIX command ps ). If not, delete the specified file and start BRBACKUP again.

BR073I Setting BRBACKUP lock failed.

Explanation: This message appears together with BR071E.

Program response: BRBACKUP processing is canceled because the lock cannot be set.

User action: See BR071E and BR072I.

BR074W BRCONNECT call failed.
BR074E BRCONNECT call failed.

Explanation: The BRCONNECT program is started when you start a backup with BRBACKUP, in order to monitor the database status.

Program response: BRBACKUP is continued (BR074W) or canceled (BR074E).

User action: Analyze the other error messages that were issued. Try to correct the error(s). If BRBACKUP was canceled, repeat the operation.

BR077I Database files for backup: %s

Explanation: The online redo log files for backup, the control file, and other database files that were specified individually using parameter backup_mode or option -m (not via the tablespace name) are displayed.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR078I Non-database files for backup: %s

Explanation: The non-database files for backup are displayed.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR079I Directories for backup: %s

Explanation: The directories for backup are displayed.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR080E File %s to be backed up not found.

Explanation: The file for backup does not exist.

Program response: Termination of the BRBACKUP run.

User action: Correct the backup_mode parameter or use option -m to specify the correct file name. Then repeat the operation.

BR081W Directories will not be compressed.

Explanation: Software compression is activated ( compress = yes or option -k yes ). However, the contents of the directories will not be compressed.

Program response: Directory contents are not compressed.

User action: None. This is a limitation of BRBACKUP.

BR082W Backups of directories will not be verified.

Explanation: Backup verification is activated (option -w|-verify ). However, the backed up contents of directories will not be verified.

Program response: Backed up directory contents are not verified.

User action: None. This is a limitation of BRBACKUP.

BR083W Compression rates out of date - run BRBACKUP with option '-k only'.

Explanation: The last simulated backup with compression for determining the compression rates ( compress = only or option -k only ) was started more than a year ago.

This is a warning that is only issued when hardware compression is activated ( compress = hardware or option -k hardware ). This message is also displayed the first time BRBACKUP Version 3.0 is started, regardless of when the last simulated backup with compression took place.

Program response: The old compression rates are accepted or - if none are available - the default values are used (see Log Supplements).

User action: You can continue processing. Regularly start the routine for determining the compression rate ( compress = only or option -k only ), to enable BRBACKUP to calculate the current compression rates. See Hardware Compression.

BR100E Internal error for '%s' at location %s-%d.

Explanation: Internal error during processing.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Please contact SAP.

BR101I Parameters

Explanation: The current values of the parameters relevant for the backup/restore operation are displayed.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR102I Following backup devices will be used: %s

Explanation: The backup devices (in accordance with the value of the init.sap profile parameter tape_address ) that will be used for backup are displayed.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR103I The following backup volumes will be used: %s

Explanation: The name of the volume - selected by automatic volume management or with option -v|-volume - that will be used for the backup is displayed.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR104I %d scratch volume will be used.

Explanation: The number of the volume required for the backup is displayed. You used option -v or one of the init.sap parameters volume_backup and volume_archive with the reserved word SCRATCH . This deactivated the automatic volume management. This means that the program only checks the expiration period for the mounted backup volume(s); any name is possible. To find out the actual name of the volume used, see message BR209I.

Program response: Any volume with an expired expiration period is accepted.

User action: Provide any volume with an expired expiration period.

BR105E Only %d free backup volumes found, %d required.

Explanation: Free volumes (with an expired expiration period) are sought in the list of backup volumes specified in profile init.sap. Fewer volumes were found than are required.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Either add the required number of valid volumes to the list in the profile, or use the command option -v SCRATCH when you start the program. Repeat the operation. The problem can also be corrected by reducing the expiration period (parameter expir_period in profile init<DBSID>.sap ). Observe the SAP recommendations for the expiration period, see Volume Expiration Period.

BR106I Files will be saved on disk in directories: %s

Explanation: During a backup to disk, only the directory names (in accordance with init.sap parameter backup_root_dir ) that will be used for the backup are displayed.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR107I Remote backup device will be accessed through pipe.

Explanation: Confirms this parameter backup_dev_type or option -d|-device is set to pipe or pipe_auto .

Program response: The backup is performed on a remote system defined in the init.sap parameter read_fifo_cmd .

User action: None.

BR108I Automatic volume remount active.

Explanation: BRBACKUP was called with the init<DBSID>.sap parameter backup_dev_type=tape_auto|pipe_auto (or option -d tape_auto|pipe_auto ).

Program response: None.

User action: No operator action is necessary during a volume switch when tape devices with automatic tape changing are used.

BR109I Files will be saved by backup utility at file level.

Explanation: Confirms that the backup will be performed at file level using an external backup program. Parameter backup_dev_type = util_file or option -d util_file was set.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR111I Files will be compressed.

Explanation: Confirms that the software compression configured with parameter compress = yes or option -k yes is active.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR112I Files will not be compressed.

Explanation: Confirms that files will not be compressed during the backup. Parameter compress = no or option -k no was set.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR113I Files will be compressed by hardware.

Explanation: Confirms that tape devices with hardware compression are being used, and that BRBACKUP will take this fact into account. Parameter compress = hardware or option -k hardware was set. See Tape Devices with Hardware Compression.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR114I Compression will not be performed for backup utility.

Explanation: The requested compression will not be performed when the backup is performed using an external backup program.

Program response: No compression is performed.

User action: Set the init.sap parameter compress = no or use the command option -k no .

BR115I Compression rate for all files %5.4f:1

Explanation: The average compression rate is calculated as the total size of the files before compression divided by the total size of the files after compression.

Program response: None.

User action: None.
