BRTOOLS
These tools are used to manage or monitor the oracle database which are specifically provided by SAP.
BRTOOLS reads the parameters from init<SID>.sap
It resides in Oracle_Home\database (Windows)
In UNIX DBS directory
It controls the runtime behavior of BRTOOLS.
BRTOOLS contains the following Options
1. BRCONNECT
It is used to connect to the database and performs various administrative tasks.
BRCONNECT - f check ... it is used to check the database and writes the logs into sapcheck directory.
Check conditions are described in transaction DB17 which in turn stores the details in DBMSGORA
Open Command Prompt > brconnect -f check
> brconnect -u system -p <pwd> -f check
brconnect -f stats
Used to run the database statistics. It identifies the tables whose statistics are outdated and updates them. We need to run the DB optimizer once a week. So that all the tables and Indexes where there are stored will be known to DB Optimizer. It is updated periodically (Weekly). Optimizer is used to collect the statistics for the tables whose statistics are outdated.
Running update statistics improves the performance of the system.
