SAP Note 27194 - BRBACKUP FM: BR074W BRCONNECT call failed.

Symptom:

The following warnings are displayed at the end of a backup:
BR252W Function kill failed for 'nnnn:mm' at location BrKill-3
BR253W errno 3: No such process
BR074W BRCONNECT call failed.
In the directory where BRBACKUP was started, there is often a core file that belongs to the BRCONNECT program.

Caution:
This error causes a programmed termination of the backup with BACKINT (mostly due to a timeout), if BRBACKUP was called with the parameter/option
backup_dev_type = util_file_online / -d util_file_online

Cause and prerequisites

Non-SAP problem - termination in Oracle code.

Solution
A new version of BRCONNECT can be downloaded from sapserv*. Refer to Notes 12741 and 19466 for information on downloading patches.
