Hi John,
Just continue with it and check whether it is able to create the new control file or not.
If you get error , regarding the permission to create a new control file ,
Then you need to check the permission of brtools tool as per the sapnote :
SAP Note : 546006 and 651351
or you can run the saproot.sh <DBSID> command with the root user :
Now steps to do :
1.
BR0280I BRSPACE time stamp: 2013-04-14 17.57.03
BR0668I Warnings or errors occurred - you can continue to ignore them or go back to repeat the last action
BR0670I Enter 'c[ont]' to continue, 'b[ack]' to go back, 's[top]' to abort:
Just continue after this , check whether you are getting the permission error or not.
Then just follow the above sapnote or run the saproot.sh located in kernel directory.
With Regards
