Messages from BR219W to BR241I

BR219W Initialization of volume %s in device %s failed.
BR219E Initialization of volume %s in device %s failed.

Explanation: The initialization of a volume has failed.

Program response: Waits for the user to mount the correct volume (BR219W) or processing terminated (BR219E).

User action: If you used option -i for initialization, the mounted volume must be an SAP volume. Verify this! If the correct volume was mounted, inspect the device. If you want to initialize a different (non-SAP) volume, use the option -i force . Also note the other error messages.

BR220W Volume in device %s is write protected!

Explanation: The volume in the device is write protected.

Program response: The operation can be continued when cpio can write to the terminal window.

User action: Remove the write protection and continue the operation.

BR221W Writing of volume header files to %s failed.
BR221E Writing of volume header files to %s failed.

Explanation: The write operation for the first files (label, init<DBSID>.ora , init<DBSID>.sap ) of the volume failed.

Program response: Waits for user action (BR221W) or processing terminated (BR221E).

User action: Note the other error messages issued along with this message. Correct the error and then repeat the operation.

BR222W Copying %s to/from %s failed due to previous errors.
BR222E Copying %s to/from %s failed due to previous errors.

Explanation: This message is displayed after other error messages that caused a backup to terminate. If you only use one device, the entire backup is terminated. If several devices are available, the backup is continued on the other devices.

Program response: Waits for user action (BR222W) or processing terminated (BR222E).

User action: Note the other messages. Correct the error and repeat the operation, if necessary, for the objects that were not backed up.

BR223E Last copy process failed.

Explanation: The last copy process on the last available device failed due to a previous error.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Note the other messages. Correct the error and then repeat the operation.

BR224E Compress of %s to %s failed.

Explanation: A file could not be compressed.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Note the other messages. Correct the error and then repeat the operation.

BR225W Maximal 255 backup devices can be used.

Explanation: This is the maximum number of that can be used in parallel. These devices were defined in the parameters tape_address and tape_address_rewind .

Program response: Only the first 255 backup devices are used. The rest are ignored.

User action: Remove the unnecessary device addresses from the parameters in the init<DBSID>.sap profile.

BR226I Rewinding tape volume in device %s...

Explanation: Volume is rewound in a tape device.

Program response: None

User action: None

BR227W Not enough disk space in %s for backup, missing %4.3f MB.
BR227E Not enough disk space in %s for backup, missing %4.3f MB.

Explanation: During a disk backup, the freespace check determined that the existing disk space is not sufficient for the backup.

Program response: If you used option -q , only a warning is issued. Otherwise, processing is terminated.

User action: Define a different file directory in parameter backup_root_dir , if you are backing up to disk, or try to create more space in the existing directory. If necessary, restart the operation.

BR228W Not enough disk space in %s for compression, missing %4.3f MB.
BR228E Not enough disk space in %s for compression, missing %4.3f MB.

Explanation: During the freespace check, the system determined that the directory defined in parameter compress_dir does not have enough freespace for the largest compressed file. The size of the compressed file is calculated based on the last available compression rates. If none exist, default values for the compression rates are assumed. See Log Supplements.

Program response: If you used option -q , only a warning is issued. Otherwise, processing is terminated.

User action: Define a different file directory in parameter compress_dir or try to create more space in the existing directory. Then restart the operation.

BR229I Calling backup utility...

Explanation: Reports that the BACKINT interface program is being called in order to establish a connection to an external backup program.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR230I Backup utility called successfully.

Explanation: The external backup program has successfully completed the backup request.

Program response: None.

User action: None.

BR231E Backup utility call failed.

Explanation: The external backup program could not carry out the backup request.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Note the other error messages, particularly those from the external backup program. Correct the error and then repeat the operation. If necessary, contact the supplier of the external backup program.

BR232I %d of %d files saved by backup utility.
BR232E %d of %d files saved by backup utility.

Explanation: The number of files saved by the external backup program is displayed.

Program response: If this number is smaller than the number of files for backup, this means errors have occurred, and processing is terminated.

User action: If errors occurred, analyze them. Also note the other error messages, particularly those from the external backup program. If necessary, contact the supplier of the external backup program.

BR233E Error in backup utility while saving file %s

Explanation: The external backup program reported an error while saving the file.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Check the other messages from the external backup program. If necessary, contact the supplier of the external backup program (the supplier of the BACKINT interface program).

BR234E Unknown file %s saved by backup utility.

Explanation: A file that was not part of the backup request was saved by the external backup program.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Contact the supplier of the external backup program (the supplier of the BACKINT interface program).

BR235W Recommended number of usages of volume %s exceeded.

Explanation: The recommended number of usages defined in tape_use_count has been exceeded by the specified volume.

Program response: The backup is continued.

User action: Do not use this volume for any more backups.

BR236I Perhaps volume initialization with option '-i force' required.

Explanation: This message appears when you attempt to start a backup on a non-initialized volume. The following cpio messages (platform-specific) may appear along with this message:

Operating System	Message
SINIX	cpio: Bad header - checksum error. cpio: Not a cpio file.
AIX	Cannot read from the specified input. Out of phase.
HP-UX	Out of phase -- get help. End of volume.
OSF1	Not a cpio archive.
SUN	cpio: impossible header type.
NT	cpio: bad magic number in archive

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Initialize the volume using option -i force and then repeat the operation.

BR237I Scratch volume required in device %s

Explanation: Prompt to provide a scratch volume for the backup.

Program response: Waits for a volume to be mounted.

User action: Any volume whose expiration period has expired can be mounted in this device.

BR238I cpio continuation volume required in device %s.

Explanation: The cpio command reached the physical end of the volume. See cpio Continuation Tape.

Program response: Waits for a continuation volume to be mounted.

User action: In this case, you should only mount a volume that has not been used for BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE backups as the continuation volume (e.g. a volume that is not specified in the pool). When a cpio continuation volume is written, any existing labels are simply overwritten. To avoid this situation in future, reduce the value of parameter tape_size .

BR239W No label checking on cpio continuation volume

Explanation: No label checking will be performed for a cpio continuation volume.

Program response: The backup is continued.

User action: To avoid this situation in future, SAP recommends reducing the volume size defined by parameter tape_size in the init<DBSID>.sap profile such that BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE can assume the continuation volume handling.

BR240E Less data backed up than the size of file %s

Explanation: The quantity of saved data reported by cpio is less than the size of the file for backup.

Program response: Processing terminated.

User action: Also check the other error messages to find and correct the cause of the error.

BR241I Checking label on volume in device %s

Explanation: Before a volume can be used for a backup, its label is checked. This check is also performed after the backup to ensure that the backup was performed successfully.

Program response: Processing is continued.

User action: Depends on the program response (see Volume Management).
