Integrating SAP R/3 and Data Protector

 

Integration Concept

 

• BRRESTORE

 

This utility restores the backed up data using the BRBACKUP and

 

BRARCHIVE utilities.

 

These backup utilities can be started directly using Data Protector, or

 

interactively using SAPDBA, which is an SAP R/3 administration utility.

 

 

NOTE

Data Protector supports all SAP R/3 backup utilities options, except for

 

the -aand -boptions. In order for Data Protector to support also the -a

 

and -boptions, set the OB2BRTNOSECU omnirc variable to 1. For more

 

information about the omnirc file, refer to the HP OpenView Storage

 

Data Protector Zero Downtime Backup Administrator’s Guide.

 

 

Data Protector

The Data Protector integration software consists of the following

Integration

components, as depicted in Figure 2-1 on page 151.

Software

• The backint program is a backup interface between the Data

 

 

Protector software and the SAP R/3 backup and restore tools.

 

It is started using BRBACKUP or BRARCHIVE during a backup

 

session, and BRRESTORE during a restore session.

 

• The sapback program performs the actual backup of files.

 

• The saprest program performs the actual restore of files.

 

• The Data Protector Database Library links Data Protector and Oracle

 

Server software. This is required only if SAP R/3 is backed up in the

 

RMAN mode.

 

• The omnisap.exe program is used by Data Protector to start the

 

SAP R/3 backup tools.

 

• The testbar2 utility checks the Data Protector part of the

 

integration.

 

• The util_sap.exe program is used by Data Protector to configure

 

the integration.

 

• The configuration file on the Cell Manager system contains data

 

needed by Data Protector to run backups and restores.
