configured correctly for the target database, as follows:
• On the SAP R/3 system on which you plan to start the backup, perform the
following:
UNIX :
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl status service
Windows :
%ORACLE_HOME%\bin\lsnrctl status service
If it fails, either start the TNS listener process or refer to the Oracle
documentation on how to create the TNS configuration file (LISTENER.ORA).
• On the SAP R/3 system on which you plan to start the backup, perform the
following:
UNIX :
export ORACLE_SID=Oracle_SID
export ORACLE_HOME=Oracle_home_path
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus
Windows :
set ORACLE_SID=Oracle_SID
set ORACLE_HOME=Oracle_home_path
%ORACLE_HOME%\bin\sqlplus
At the SQLPlus prompt, type:
connect user/passwd@service;
exit;
If it fails, refer to the Oracle documentation on how to create the TNS
configuration file (TSNAMES.ORA).
