SAP Tools for Oracle Database Administration

BR*Tools

We provide you with BR*Tools, including BRSPACE and BRCONNECT, to help you administer your Oracle database:

  • As of SAP Web AS 6.40, SAPDBA is no longer being released.
  • You can continue to use SAPDBA 6.20 linked to Oracle 9i with SAP Web AS 6.40. However, we strongly recommend you to only use BR*Tools instead.
  • You cannot use SAPDBA with Oracle 10g or higher.
  • BR*Tools 6.40, including BRSPACE, can be used for all SAP Releases based on Oracle 9i.
  • BR*Tools 7.00, including BRSPACE, can be used for all SAP Releases based on Oracle 10g

 

You can use these SAP tools for Oracle database administration both in daily routine tasks and in less frequent, complex tasks, such as recovering or reorganizing the database. You can configure and execute functions individually.

BR*Tools also offer certified interface solutions for external backup tools using BACKINT and integrate the latest in database technology, including standby databases and split-mirroring.

You can download BRTOOLS in the latest SAP Support Package - see the link on the right of this page.
