Getting: "Waiting for repository update" with 360Plus

Resolving REPO0032 Error: “ Waiting for repository update ” in 360Plus


Symptom

During a 360Plus backup task, the job fails with the following error:


Error message:
REPO0032: Error updating backup folder: repo003
Status: Waiting for repository update

This error appears in the 360Plus backup task logs.


Environment

  • Product: 360Plus

  • SAP BI Platform: BusinessObjects 4.2 or 4.3

  • Operating System: Windows

  • Database: All supported databases


Cause

The error is triggered when 360Plus cannot verify that the Disaster Recovery repository is configured correctly. This validation is performed through specific registry keys and a database flag.


Resolution

Follow the steps below to correct the configuration.

1. Update the Windows Registry

  1. Open Registry Editor (regedit).

  2. Navigate to the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Prefs\com\g\360\preferences\generic\<bobj_version>

Where <bobj_version> stands for your SAP BI version:

  • 424 for BI 4.2

  • 430 for BI 4.3

  1. In this folder, ensure the following String values exist:

  • RepoConfiguredForDR

  • univ.repo.configured

  1. If they do not exist, create them:

    • Right-click in the right pane → New > String Value

    • Name the key accordingly

    • Double-click the key and set Value data to:

      true

2. Update the 360Suite Database

Open a SQL client connected to the 360Suite database and run the appropriate command.

  • Oracle:

UPDATE plusversconfigentity SET lockrepo = 0;

  • Other databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, etc.):

UPDATE plusversconfigentity SET lockrepo = FALSE;

3. Rerun the Backup Job

  • Restart the backup task in 360Plus.

  • The repository status will be recognized correctly, and the backup will proceed.


Note

Ensure that no other 360Suite / 360Plus instance is using the same repository schema when performing these changes.
