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>

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.

index: “adding users”.
