Prerequisites and Limitations

	Prerequisites and Limitations
	This section provides you with a list of prerequisites and limitations you
	must be aware of before using the integration.
Prerequisites	• The database used by SAP R/3 must be an Oracle database. If any
	other database is used by SAP, then the corresponding Data Protector
	integration of that database (for example, Informix) must be used
	instead.
	• You need a license to use the Data Protector SAP R/3 integration.
	Refer to the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and
	Licensing Guide for information about licensing.
	• Before you begin, make sure that you have correctly installed and
	configured the SAP R/3 Database Server and Data Protector systems.
	Refer to the:
	— HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Product Announcements,
	Software Notes, and References or
	http://www.hp.com/support/manuals for an up-to-date list of
	supported versions, platforms, devices, and other information.
	— HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing
	Guide for instructions on how to install Data Protector on various
	architectures and how to install the Data Protector SAP R/3
	integration.
	— SAP R/3 System Online Documentation for instructions on how to
	install and configure the SAP R/3 database and the SAP R/3
	backup and restore tools (BRBACKUP, BRRESTORE, and
	BRARCHIVE).
	• The SAP R/3 database user used by this integration to connect to the
	target SAP R/3 database during the backup must have the SYSDBA
	privilege granted. Refer to the Oracle documentation for more
	information on user privileges in Oracle.
	The operating system root user on the Oracle Server also has to be
	added to either the Data Protector admin or operator user group.
