Cause

The command "ocrdump -backupfile filename" fails to dump the content of the specifiedbackup file if the backup file is not placed on an OCR-compatible device,which can be used to configure as an OCR device.

This issue was reported in Bug 4966320, Bug 7421563, Bug 5893432, Bug 5654475, Bug 7698962 fixed via internal unpublished Bug 4870817

Solution

This bug is known to havebeen fixed in latest CRS bundle patch for 10.2.0.4. For more information, please consultNote 405820.1

Workaround :
---------------------

Move the backup file to a compatible deivce. A compatible device is the type of device that can be used to configure OCR. For example, the backup file can be placed on the same device where OCR device is configured.
