backint ERROR: need to specify (-p) ERROR: incorrect parameter options
Hi all, We have moved to Oracle 12 (with SAP) and i've had no problem backing up the systems until today. I've run into a strange issue. If I run either of these commands brarchive -u / -c -d util_file -sd brbackup -u / -c -d util_file_online -t online -m all (which is what I run on 12 other systems without error) I receive an error: BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2017-04-24 16:38:03 BR0229I Calling backup utility with function 'backup'... BR0278I Command output of 'backint -u GD1 -f backup -i d:\oracle\gd1\sapbackup\. bevrhdyf.lst -t file_online -c': ERROR: need to specify (-p) ERROR: incorrect parameter options backint: usage: backint -u user_id -p param_file [-o output_file] [-i input_file] -f backup|restore|inquire|delete [-t file | file_online] BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2017-04-24 16:38:03 BR0279E Return code from 'backint -u GD1 -f backup -i d:\oracle\gd1\sapbackup\.b evrhdyf.lst -t file_online -c': 2 BR0232E 0 of 16 files saved by backup utility BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2017-04-24 16:38:03 BR0231E Backup utility call failed Now, I can easily specify -p and point to the .sap file and the brarchive and brbackup commands works fine, but, never had to in the past. I would like to keep these systems as uniform as possible. brbackup on other systems would pass -p to backint without having to specify it in the script. Does anybody know where the d:\oracle\<sid>\12102\database\init<sid>.sap is speicifed (either in the .util file,or perhpas somehwere else) In other words, how does brtools know about the .sap file so that I don't have to specify it manually. Thanks all
