Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Check the command syntax (e.g. using option -h ) and repeat the operation.

BR158E Error reading init_ora profile %s

Explanation: Errors were determined reading the init<DBSID>.ora profile.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Check the syntax of the information in the profile init<DBSID>.ora . Examine the detailed error messages listed there. Then restart the operation.

BR159E Error reading init_sap profile %s

Explanation: Errors were determined reading the init<DBSID>.ora profile.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Check the syntax of the information in the profile init<DBSID>.ora . Examine the detailed error messages listed there. Then restart the operation.

BR160E Unexpected symbol '%s' found for parameter %s.

Explanation: A syntax error was found when reading a parameter.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the syntax. See Initialization Profile init<DBSID>.sap.

BR161E More data expected in file %s

Explanation: Syntax error in the specified file. The definition of the parameter was not completed properly.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the syntax. See Initialization Profile init<DBSID>.sap.

BR162E Parameter %s in file %s not supported.

Explanation: Profile error. The specified parameter should not be used. Often involves a not-supported init.ora parameter.

Program response: Processing terminated

User action: Delete the parameter, restart the database and repeat the action.

BR163E Unknown parameter %s found in file %s

Explanation: Profile error. The parameter used is unknown.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Check your entry. Also see BR162W

BR164E Illegal value '%s' found for parameter %s.

Explanation: Profile error. The parameter value is illegal.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Check the parameter definition.

BR165E Parameter %s is not set in %s

Explanation: Profile error. A required parameter was not defined.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Check the profile. Compare the specifications, e.g. with the sample profile initSID.sap .

BR166W Parameter %s not found in file %s - default assumed.

Explanation: Because a parameter was not found, the ORACLE default value is selected. The default value can be platform-specific.

Program response: The ORACLE default value is assumed.

User action: Normally none. If you want to suppress this warning, explicitly define the parameter.

BR167E Unexpected value '%s' found for parameter %s.

Explanation: Profile error. Only one value is accepted for this parameter, not a value list.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the parameter definition.

BR168E Please define only one value for parameter %s.

Explanation: Define only one value for this parameter, not a value list.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the parameter definition.

BR169W Value '%s' of parameter %s ignored for '%s' - '%s' assumed.

Explanation: The parameter value is illegal for this call constellation.

Program response: The value is replaced by a different value and processing is continued.

User action: Do not use this value in future calls of the program.

BR170E Value of parameter %s should be enclosed in double quotes.

Explanation: Profile error. Double quotes are missing.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Enclose the value of this parameter in double quotes. BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE uses this syntax in the init<DBSID>.sap profile. Make sure you adhere to this syntax (compare to e.g. the sample profile initSID.sap ).

BR171E Value '%s' of parameter %s longer than %d characters.

Explanation: The parameter value is too long.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the parameter definition.

BR172E Root directories %s and %s on same disk volume.

Explanation: If you specify several directories in profile parameter backup_root_dir , these directories should be on different disks.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the information in the init.sap profile.

BR173E Option %s missing in parameter %s.

Explanation: The specified option is missing. This message normally refers to option -c of parameter compress_cmd . SAP recommends always using option -c of the compress command in the init<DBSID>.sap parameter compress_cmd , to ensure that the original file is not deleted during compression.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the parameter definition.

BR174E Dollar character missing.

Explanation: The parameter syntax requires one or more $ characters in the parameter value as placeholders. This message appears together with BR164E, in which the parameter name is displayed.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the parameter definition.

BR175E Character 'K' or 'M' should directly follow volume size.

Explanation: The value of parameter tape_size must end with K or M as the last character. This message appears together with BR164E, in which the parameter name is displayed.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the parameter definitions.

BR176E Parameter %s may not begin with a pipe character.

Explanation: The init.sap parameter read_fifo_cmd does not require a "|" character at the beginning of the parameter. BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE uses the syntax specified in sample profile initSID.sap for this parameter.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the parameter value.

BR177E Parameter %s may not include the dd command.

Explanation: The init.sap parameter read_fifo_cmd does not require a dd command within the parameter information. BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE uses the syntax specified in sample profile initSID.sap for this parameter.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the parameter value.

BR178E Please use %s and %s parameters to define dd command.

Explanation: The dd command is defined in the specified parameters. The two parameters copy_in_cmd and copy_out_cmd control the backup to a remote system. Only the host name and (optionally) the user name is specified in parameter read_fifo_cmd .

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Correct the parameter value.

BR179E Number of backup devices with and without rewind is not the same.

Explanation: The number of the device addresses in both parameters must agree.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Check the values for parameters tape_address and tape_address_rew . Make sure that the number of device addresses in both parameters agrees.

BR180E Backup devices with and without rewind have the same address.

Explanation: The names of the device addresses in both parameters must be different.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Check the values for parameters tape_address and tape_address_rew . Make sure that the device addresses are different. For no-rewind addresses, the only difference to the rewind address is often an "n" in the name. See tape_address.

BR181W Option '%s' not supported for '%s'.
BR181E Option '%s' not supported for '%s'.

Explanation: The option is not supported in the call constellation.

Program response: The option is ignored and processing is continued (BR181W). Processing is terminated (BR181E).

User action: Check the command syntax (e.g. using option -h ). Repeat the operation if a termination occurred.
