Environment 

SAP : EHP4  ECC 6
Oracle : 12
Kernel : 721

Resolution :

The BR*Tools 7.20 package can be used with all SAP releases that are based on Oracle database 10g or 11g.
The BR*Tools 7.40 package can be used with all SAP releases based on an Oracle 11g or 12c database or higher.

Updated BRTOOLS only 740 as kernel 740 is not compatible with SAP EHP 4 ECC 6 .

Refer Note : 12741

Hope this helps!!!

Loading of 'SAPNTAB' import package: ERROR

Symptom

You are performing an installation or system copy using sapinst on Windows Server with Oracle 10.2 or Oracle 11.

R3load aborts at the import with an error message similar to the one below:

ERROR: 2011-09-28 15:28:29 com.sap.inst.migmon.LoadTask run
Loading of 'SAPNTAB' import package is interrupted with R3load error.
Process 'D:\usr\sap\FWK\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe -i SAPNTAB.cmd -dbcodepage 4103 -l SAPNTAB.log -stop_on_error -loadprocedure fast' exited with return code -1.073.741.819. ('xC0000005 -> Access Violation)
For mode details see 'SAPNTAB.log' file.
Standard error output:
sapparam: sapargv(argc, argv) has not been called!
sapparam(1c): No Profile used.
sapparam: SAPSYSTEMNAME neither in Profile nor in Commandline

The windows eventlog viewer at the same time shows an entry such as:

Faulting application R3load.exe, version 7200.68.18.18535, time stamp 0x4cbe396a, faulting module OraOCIICUS10.dll, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x44a53e2d, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000000000009cc6e, process id 0xd3c, application start time 0x01cc7de280a7e5fe.

Reason and Prerequisites

There is a bug in the Oracle client software delivered with the installation kit.


Solution

Check note # 819829 on how to get and install the latest version of the Oracle Client software.

Merge the TSK file of the R3load package which has failed as described per note # 455195 and restart sapinst or the Migration Monitor from the step which failed.

Hope this helps!!!
