2. In order to establish the TNS network connection, verify that Net8 software is
configured correctly for the target database, as follows:
• On the application system, 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 application system, perform the following. Use sqlplus:
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).

brbackup -d disk -u user/password
If it fails, refer to the SAP Online help for instructions on how to execute a backup
to disk using the SAP backup utility.
