NEW FEATURES OF BRCONNECT 620

BRCONNECT Version 6.20 was enhanced with the command line user interface. The functions
made available by this enhancement replace most of the SAPDBA command options. The
necessity to convert resulted from the multi-component database configuration which has been
supported since the SAP Basis Version 4.6D.

The following SAPDBA command options are replaced by the new BRCONNECT functions:

SAPDBA command options BRCONNECT function


----------------------- ------------------------------
sapdba -u / -check brconnect -u / -f check
sapdba -u / -next brconnect -u / -f next
sapdba -u / -checkopt|-analyze brconnect -u / -f stats
sapdba -u / -statistics brconnect -u / -f stats -p
sapdba -u / -delete brconnect -u / -f stats -d
sapdba -u / -cleanup brconnect -u / -f cleanup
sapdba -u / -sapr3|-alter_user brconnect -u / -f chpass
sapdba -u / -shutdown brconnect -u / -f dbshut
sapdba -u / -startup brconnect -u / -f dbstart
sapdba -u / -check_db_open brconnect -u / -f dbstate

The corresponding SAPDBA functions are no longer developed. We urgently recommend you to
use BRCONNECT 6.20 rather than SAPDBA 6.20 in those cases where both tools offer the
same, or similar, functions. Other SAPDBA functions that you can navigate to via the menu are
not affected by this and continue to be fully supported.

BRCONNECT 6.20 can also be used under earlier SAP R/3 Releases (starting with Release
4.0B). This is not obligatory but recommended. If you do this, the new, expanded functions will
immediately be available for most productive systems. The remaining BR 6.20 tools
(BRARCHIVE, BRBACKUP, BRRESTORE and BRTOOLS) and SAPDBA 6.20 can be used
there. Or BRCONNECT 6.20 can be combined with the remaining BR tools 4.5B patch level 69 or
4.6D patch level 14 (or higher). A combination like this is recommended for production systems
until their internal backup and restore tests are concluded with the new tools.

Examples for the calls of the BRCONNECT main functions under the
operating system user <sid>adm:
* Check database system: brconenct -u / -c -f check
* Adapt next extents: brconenct -u / -c -f next -t all
* Update optimizer statistics: brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t all
* Cleanup DBA logs: brconnect -u / -c -f cleanup

You will find detailed information on the command options and parameters of BRCONNECT in an
extract from the 6.20 online documentation, which you will find in SAPNet under:
http://service.sap.com/dbaora
--> General
--> BRCONNECT (6.20)

You can find a White Paper containing recommendations regarding statistics update with
BRCONNECT 6.20 in the SAPNet under:

--> Performance
--> Update Statistics for the Oracle Cost-Based Optimizer (6.20)
