Integrating SAP R/3 and Data Protector

Configuring an SAP R/3 Backup

	Each tablespace is switched into
	backup mode just before the
	backup and is switched out from
	backup mode immediately after
	the backup. As a result, the
	increase in archived log files is
	smaller compared to the backup
	with the util_file device type.
	However, if the database consists
	of a large number of small files,
	the backup can take longer.
Brbackup_RMAN_Offline	Backs up the shut-down database
	using Oracle RMAN.
Brbackup_RMAN_Online	Backs up the active database. The
	tablespace is locked for the time of
	the whole backup using Oracle
	RMAN.
Click OK.

•In the Application database drop-down list, select the name of the Oracle Server instance (ORACLE_SID) on which the SAP R/3 Database Server is running.
