Explanation:Once all the offline redo log files in the archiving directory have been processed,
BRARCHIVE checks whether ORACLE has written new offline redo log files into the archiving directory
in the meantime. If this is the case, their number is displayed in this message, and processing is
continued. This case may occur during a BRARCHIVE run with Option -s, - sd, -ss, or -ssd, and of
course during a run with Option -f.
Program reaction:If offline redo log files are found, BRARCHIVE archives them.
User action:There are none.
BR0013W 'No offline redo log files found for processing'

Program reaction:There are none.
User action:There are none.
BR0017W Offline redo log file %s not found.
BR0017W Offline-Redo-Log-Datei %s nicht gefunden.
Explanation: This warning informs you that there are gaps in the archiving directory. The database
cannot be recovered in such cases if the recovery process is started with an offline redo log file
with a smaller log sequence number. Possible causes:
Case 1: Offline redo log files were deleted using operating system utilities before they could be

archived, or the ORACLE ARCHIVELOG mode was temporarily deactivated. BRARCHIVE was started with
Option -s, -sd, -ss, or -ssd.
Case 2: Offline redo log files were deleted using operating system utilities after they were
archived once by BRARCHIVE, but not yet deleted by BRARCHIVE. BRARCHIVE was started with Option -sc,
-scd, -ds, or -dc.
Program reaction:The offline redo log file is ignored.
User action:Case 1: SAP recommends a full backup of the database. The warning is normally only
output once. After at least one archive log with a larger log sequence number was saved, it is
automatically suppressed. Therefore in this case action is not necessary.
Case 2: The warning is issued repeatedly when BRARCHIVE is started with Option -sc, -scd, -ds, or dc. To suppress the message, you have to edit the summary BRARCHIVE log
<ORACLE_HOME>/saparch/arch<DBSID>.log.
In the #COPIED and #DELETED lines, which refer to the affected offline redo log files, replace the
first character, '#', with '+' or '*'.
For example:

+COPIED... ........ .................. .......... ........
+DELETED.. ........ ............. ........
BR0018I Waiting for the next offline redo log file...
BR0018I Warten auf die naechste Offline-Redo-Log- Datei...
Explanation: When you select Option -f in the BRARCHIVE command, BRARCHIVE waits for the next
offline redo log file and immediately archives it when it appears in the archiving directory. This
message is also displayed when the offline redo log files were processed successfully and a new file
is being added to the archiving directory. See
Program reaction:The program continues if offline redo log files appear in the archiving
directory.
User action:There are none. If necessary, you can interrupt the BRARCHIVE run with Option -f stop.
BR0019I Volume size limit reached - no more offline redo log files will be processed.
BR0019I Datentraeger-Groesse erreicht - keine weiteren Offline-Redo-Log-Dateien werden verarbeitet.
Explanation:BRARCHIVE can only use one tape for the requested archiving - in other words it does
not support continuation tapes. The number of selected offline redo log files depends on parameter
tape_size.
Program reaction:BRARCHIVE processes the selected offline redo log files and terminates
automatically. Several redo log files remain in the archiving directory.
User action:The remaining offline redo log files will be saved during the next BRARCHIVE run. If
you want to saved them immediately, you must restart BRARCHIVE.
BR0020E BRARCHIVE already running or was killed.
BR0020E BRARCHIVE laeuft gerade oder wurde abgebrochen.
Explanation:You tried to start an archiving process for a specific database.
Program reaction:BRARCHIVE is not started.
User action:If another BRARCHIVE process is running, you have to wait until it has terminated. If
a BRARCHIVE run terminates, refer to the other messages.
BR0021I Please delete the file %s if BRARCHIVE was killed.
BR0021I Bitte die Datei %s loeschen, wenn BRARCHIVE abgebrochen wurde
Explanation:This message appears together with BR0020E. Program reaction:BRARCHIVE is not
started.
User action:Check whether BRARCHIVE is running (for example using the UNIX command ps). If not,
delete the specified file and start BRARCHIVE again.
BR0022I Setting BRARCHIVE lock failed.
BR0022I Setzen von BRARCHIVE-Sperre gescheitert.
Explanation:This message appears together with BR0020E.
Program reaction:BRARCHIVE processing terminates because the lock cannot be set.
User action:See BR0020E and BR0021I.
BR0025E Not enough backup devices for this function.
BR0025E Nicht genug Sicherungs-Geraete fuer diese Funktion.
Explanation:You used option -ss or -ssd (parallel archiving on two backup devices), but have only
specified one backup device in the init<DBSID>.sap parameter file.
Program reaction:The BRARCHIVE run is not performed.
User action:Make sure at least two backup devices are used for archiving. Even though you can
specify more devices, only two will be used. Restart BRARCHIVE.
BR0026I BRARCHIVE started with option %s will be stopped now.
BR0026I BRARCHIVE gestartet mit Option %s wird jetzt gestoppt.
Explanation:A brarchive -f run was stopped with brarchive -f stop.

BR0029E Stoppen von BRARCHIVE gestartet mit Option %s gescheitert.

Explanation:The BRARCHIVE run that was started with brarchive -f could not be stopped.
Program reaction:brarchive -f stop terminates.
User action:Take the other messages into account. Try to correct the error. Then repeat the
processing.
BR0030W BRARCHIVE log %s not found - volume management reset.
BR0030W BRARCHIVE-Protokoll %s nicht gefunden - Datentraeger-Verwaltung zurueckgesetzt.
Explanation:The summary BRARCHIVE log <ORACLE_HOME>/saparch/arch<DBSID>.log forms the foundation
for volume management. If this no longer exists, BRARCHIVE loses the information about volumes used.
Program reaction:BRARCHIVE requests the first volume from the volume_archive pool and continues
processing.
User action: If you do not want this response, cancel BRARCHIVE and restore the summary log. The
summary log can be imported from the last BRARCHIVE backup volume by calling brrestore -n sum_log.
BR0031W Redo log sequence number was reset for database instance %s.
BR0031W Redo-Log-Sequenznummer wurde zurueckgesetzt fuer Datenbank-Instanz %s.
Explanation:BRARCHIVE has detected that the current log sequence number is smaller than the log
sequence number of the last archived offline redo log file. This can occur, for example, if the
database instance was opened with ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS after a recovery.
Program reaction:Processing continues.

Program reaction:There are none.
User action:There are none.
BR0064I The database instance %s will be shut down now.
BR0064I Die Datenbank-Instanz %s wird jetzt gestoppt.
Explanation:During an offline backup, the database instance is stopped once the BRBACKUP
initialization phase is complete.
Program reaction:There are none.
User action:If you are not working in unattended mode, you can terminate the backup at this point.
BR0065E Tablespace %s not found.
BR0065E Tablespace %s nicht gefunden.
Explanation:This error message is issued when a tablespace you specified (using the BRBACKUP
option -m <tablespace name> or by defining the tablespace name in the parameter backup_mode of the
init.sap profile) is not defined in the database.
Program reaction:The BRBACKUP run terminates. User action: Check the tablespace name and restart
the BRBACKUP.
BR0066E For online backup, the database must be in ARCHIVELOG mode.
BR0066E Fuer Online-Sicherung muss die Datenbank im ARCHIVELOG Modus sein.
Explanation:You can only carry out an online backup if the ARCHIVELOG mode is active. This ensures
that the online redo log files are archived in the archiving directory before they are overwritten
during a redo log file switch. The redo logs are required for any recovery.
Program reaction:No BRBACKUP run possible.
User action:Start the database system with the ARCHIVELOG mode active.
BR0067E For online backup, automatic archival must be ENABLED for all database instances.
BR0067E Fuer Online-Sicherung muss automatische Archivierung fuer alle Datenbank-Instanzen ENABLED
sein.
Explanation:You can only carry out an online backup if automatic archiving is activated - in other
words, the ORACLE Background Process ARCH must be active (this backgound process is used to archive
the online redo log files during a redo log file switch in the archiving directory).
Program reaction:No BRBACKUP run possible.
User action:Activate the automatic archiving of redo log files and repeat the processing.
BR0068E SAP system is running or SAPR3 user is connected at offline backup.
BR0068E SAP-System laeuft oder SAPR3-Benutzer angemeldet bei Offline-Sicherung.
Explanation:This error message appears if an SAP system is still running (or if an SAPR3 user is
still logged on to the database via SQLPLUS/SQLDBA) and you want to start an offline backup.
Transactions and jobs in the SAP System would be terminated if the database instance was shut down.
BRBACKUP prevents this.
Program reaction:BRBACKUP terminates.
User action:Shut down the SAP system (with stopsap, for example) and then start BRBACKUP again.
You can also set the init<DBSID>.sap parameter backup_type to offline_force. The database instance
is then stopped when the BRBACKUP is started, independent of whether the SAP system is running.
BR0069E File name %s not unique - backup/verification impossible.
BR0069E Dateiname %s nicht eindeutig - Sicherung/Verifikation unmoeglich.
Explanation:Because the file name is not unique, files in the backup directory could be
overwritten (during a backup to disk).
Program reaction:The BRBACKUP run is terminated.
User action:Stop the database. Rename the file at operating system level. Use the SYRMGR commands
to rename the file on the database.
connect internal
shutdown immediate
startup mount
alter database rename file '<file name>' to '<file name>';
alter database open;
Then restart BRBACKUP.
BR0070W File %s greater than volume size - trying to back it up, anyway.
BR0070W Datei %s groesser als Datentraeger-Groesse - es wird in jedem Fall versucht, sie zu sichern.
Explanation:The file may not fit on the tape. The actual tape switch is triggered by cpio when the
physical end of the tape has been reached.
Program reaction:BRBACKUP attempts to save the file on a volume individually.
User action:If the physical end of the tape is reached, insert a continuation tape in the tape
device.
Note that BRBACKUP considers both tapes to be one logical tape. It is your responsibility to always
provide these two volumes in the correct sequence when necessary, even though BRBACKUP only requests

one tape. SAP recommends that you do not create files in the database if these are larger than the
physical tape size.
BR0071E BRBACKUP currently running or was killed.
BR0071E BRBACKUP laeuft gerade oder wurde
abgebrochen.
Explanation:Only one backup process should be started for each specific database.
Program reaction:BRBACKUP is not started.
User action:When another BRBACKUP process is running, you have to wait until it has terminated. If
a BRBACKUP run terminates, refer to the other messages.
BR0072I Please delete file %s if BRBACKUP was killed.
BR0072I Bitte die Datei %s loeschen, wenn BRBACKUP abgebrochen wurde.
Explanation:This message appears together with BR0071E.
Program reaction:BRBACKUP is not started.
User action:Check whether BRBACKUP is running (for example using the UNIX command ps). If not,
delete the specified file and start BRBACKUP again.
BR0073I Setting BRBACKUP lock failed.
BR0073I Setzen von BRBACKUP-Sperre gescheitert.
Explanation:This message appears together with BR0071E.
Program reaction:The BRBACKUP processing terminates because the lock cannot be set.
User action:See BR0071E and BR0072I.
BR0074W BRCONNECT call failed.
BR0074W BRCONNECT-Aufruf gescheitert.
BR0074E BRCONNECT call failed.
BR0074E BRCONNECT-Aufruf gescheitert.
Explanation:Program BRCONNECT is started if you start a backup with BRBACKUP, in order to monitor
the database status.
Program reaction:Continuation (BR0074W) or termination
(BR0074E) of the BRBACKUP processing.
User action:Analyze the other error messages that were issued. Try to correct this error. If
BRBACKUP was terminated, repeat the processing.
BR0077I Database files for backup: %s
BR0077I Datenbankdateien fuer Sicherung:%s
Explanation:The online redo log files to be backed up, the control file, and other database files
that were specified individually using the backup_mode parameter or Option -m (not using the
tablespace name) are issued.
Program reaction:There are none.
User action:There are none.
BR0078I Non-database files for backup: %s
BR0078I Nicht-Datenbankdateien fuer Sicherung: %s
Explanation:The non-database files to be backed up are displayed.
Program reaction:There are none.
User action:There are none.
BR0079I Directories for backup: %s
BR0079I Verzeichnisse fuer Sicherung: %s
Explanation:The directories to be backed up are displayed.
Program reaction:There are none.
User action:There are none.
BR0080E File %s to be backed up not found.
BR0080E Zu sichernde Datei %s nicht gefunden.
Explanation:The file to be backed up does not exist.
Program reaction: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 processing.
BR0081W Directories will not be compressed.
BR0081W Verzeichnisse werden nicht komprimiert.
Explanation:Software compression is activated (compress = yes or option -k yes). However, the
contents of the directories are not compressed.
Program reaction:Directory contents are not compressed.
User action:There are none. This is a limitation of BRBACKUP.
BR0082W Backups of directories will not be verified.
BR0082W Sicherungen von Verzeichnissen werden nicht verifiziert.
Explanation:Backup verification is activated (option -w|- verify). However, the backed-up contents
of directories are not verified.
Program reaction:Backed-up directory contents are not verified.
User action:There are none. This is a limitation of BRBACKUP.
BR0083W Compression rates out of date - run BRBACKUP with option '-k only'.
BR0083W Kompressionsraten veraltet - starten Sie BRBACKUP mit Option '-k only'.
Explanation:The last simulated backup with compression to determine 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 reaction:The old compression rates are accepted or, if none are available, the default
values are used.
User action:You can continue processing.
Start the detection of the compression rate (compress = only or option -k only) on a regular basis
so that the most recent compression rates are available to BRBACKUP.
BR0100E Internal error for '%s' at location %s-%d.
BR0100E Interner Fehler fuer '%s' an der Stelle %s-%d.
Explanation:Internal error during processing.
Program reaction:Processing terminates.
User action:Contact SAP.

BR0101I Parameters
BR0101I Parameter
Explanation:The current values of the parameters relevant for the backup/restore operation are
displayed.
Program reaction:There are none.
User action:There are none.
BR0102I Following backup devices will be used: %s
BR0102I Folgende Sicherungs-Geraete werden benutzt: %s
Explanation:The backup devices (in accordance with the value of the init.sap profile parameter
tape_address) that are used for the backup are issued.
Program reaction:There are none.
User action:There are none.
BR0103I The following backup volumes will be used: %s
BR0103I Folgende Sicherungs-Datentraeger werden benutzt: %s
Explanation:The names of the volumes, selected by automatic volume management or with option -v|volume, that are used for backup are issued.
Program reaction:There are none.
User action:There are none.
BR0104I %d scratch volume will be used.
BR0104I %d Scratch-Datentraeger werden benutzt.
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 inserted backup volume(s); any name is possible. To find out the actual names of the
volumes used, see message BR209I.
Program reaction:Any volume with an expired expiration period (lock period) is accepted.
User action:Provide any volume with an expired expiration period.
BR0105E Only %d free backup volumes found, %d required.
BR0105E Nur %d freie Sicherungs-Datentraeger gefunden, %d erforderlich.
Explanation:Free volumes (with an expired expiration period) are sought in the list of backup
volumes specified in Profile init.sap. Fewer free volumes were found than are required.
Program reaction:Processing terminates.
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 processing. 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
BR0106I Files will be saved on disk in directories: %s
BR0106I Dateien werden auf Platte gesichert in
Directory: %s
Explanation:During a backup to disk, only the directory names (in accordance with init.sap
parameter backup_root_dir) that are used for backup are displayed.
