I wanted to keep AUTOLOG mode on. so, when i was scheduling, it has mentioned that "complete data backup" is missing. which i found is the right away.
so I have set the media backup as "FILE". on my file system. my run directory is /sapdb/wrk/data/<SID>.
overwritable - NO
Type - FILE
Backup Template - DATA
it failed. here is the log from DB13.

so backup is failing because "cannot open xparam file". i have searched the whole system. couldn't fine anything releant there. i have searched service marketplace and understood that X_PARAM is used for APO 1.1. this in SCM 7.0 . so not relevant.
google is also failed for this. 
so this is the last resort. please help.
