SAPR3SHD user - ORA-01017

Former Member

I am running an EHPi upgrade  and during the preprocessing phase when the shadow system is started I get the following error in the STARTSFI.SAV file : RFC Login Failed. When I checked the  Work process trace files I see the error :

C  Connecting as SAPR3SHD/<pwd>@MSQ on connection 0 (nls 0) ... (dbsl 720 090112, non-unicode)

C  Starting user session: OCISessionBegin(con=0, usr='SAPR3SHD', svc=07B960F8, srv=07B969A8, usr=1700EB28)

C     OCISessionBegin(OCI_DEFAULT) failed with SQL error 1017:

C     ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied                                                                       

C  *** ERROR => CONNECT failed with sql error '1017

I have manually connected to the DB with SAPR3SHD / SAP and this connects successfully .

I have checked the Note 400241 / 525677 / 398100 but none of these have moved me forward .  Any help or advise with this issue would be gratefully received.

Many thanks

Paul

Can you please set the password of SAPR3SHD to sap  using brconnect and see if this works.

Thanks for your advice: the solution was change the password to its default value via BRTOOLS and also run CREATE_SHDDBCON in SE37 enter user, password &  <SID> as connenv.

These two actions progressed the install.

Cheers

Paul
