Configuring the Integration

Configuring the Integration

Configuration Configuring the Data Protector SAP R/3 integration consists of these

Overviewsteps:

1.If you intend to use the Oracle Recovery Manager to backup the SAP R/3 database files, install and configure the Data Protector Oracle integration. When the Data Protector Oracle integration is configured, it is recommended to run a test Data Protector Oracle backup using the Oracle Recovery Manager.

2.Configure the SAP R/3 user (on UNIX systems only).

3.Configure the SAP R/3 Database Server.

Configuring an SAP R/3 User in Data Protector (UNIX Systems Only)

On UNIX systems, to start an SAP R/3 backup session, you need an operating system logon on the system where an SAP R/3 Database Server is running.

In addition, this user has to be registered in the Oracle database and identified by SAP R/3 through the operating system identification.

This means that Oracle Server does not request connection information from an application started under such user account, but only checks whether the user is registered in the database.

Refer to the SAP R/3 and Oracle documentation for further information about different types of connections, about roles and privileges of Oracle database administrators, and about security issues that should be considered.

Further on, this user is allowed to backup and restore an SAP R/3 database. In order to start a backup of an SAP R/3 database using Data Protector, this user has to become the owner of the Data Protector backup specification.

As the owner of the backup specification, the user has to be added to either the Data Protector admin or operator user group.
