Summary :
SAP BR*Tools experience failures on Linux systems due to special s-bit handling affecting authorization. When running BRBACKUP, BRARCHIVE, or BRCONNECT under the adm user with an OPS$ connection, errors such as "SQL error -1017" and "invalid username/password" occur. Similarly, RMAN backups under the same user report "insufficient privileges." The resolution involves ensuring proper use of the OPS$ prefixed user and setting the SGID bit on executables to secure necessary permissions while maintaining system integrity. This adjustment requires BR*Tools 6.40 Patch 32 or above, mindful execution is advised particularly for RMAN operations.
