HP OpenView Storage B6960-96008 manual SAP R/3 database using Data Protector, Group, 166

Integrating SAP R/3 and Data Protector

Configuring the Integration

Such a user is the user ora<SID> from the group sapsys; or, you can identify such a user by running the following command on the SAP R/3 Database Server system:

ps -efgrep ora_pmon_<ORACLE_SID>

or

ps -efgrep ora_lgwr_<ORACLE_SID>

Figure 2-4 Finding the Oracle User

	It can be seen from the example above that the user ora has sufficient
	privileges within the SAP R/3 database to backup and restore the SAP
	R/3 database. Therefore, this user has to be added to the corresponding
	Data Protector user group (admin or operator) and have to become the
	owner of the backup specification, so that the user is able to backup the
	SAP R/3 database using Data Protector.
IMPORTANT	Additionally, the operating system root user on the SAP R/3 Server also
	has to be added to either the Data Protector admin or operator user
	group.
	After the two users are added, Data Protector sessions can be started
	under the user account with all the privileges required to perform an
	SAP R/3 database backup with Data Protector.
	Sometimes SAP administrators want to enforce more security and allow
	restores to be performed only by using a specific user account (for
	example SAP administrator). In this case, this user should also be
	configured as a Data Protector user and have to be added to either the
	operator or admin group.
	For information on how to add a user to a user group, see the online Help
	index: “adding users”.
