HP OpenView Storage B6960-96008 R/3 Database Server, Objects outside database, Creating or Modifying the Parameter File on the SAP

Integrating SAP R/3 and Data Protector

Configuring an SAP R/3 Backup

	Objects outside database		With this option, you save all
			non-database files of the SAP R/3 and
			Oracle environments. This means
			that the following directory trees can
			be saved:
			/sapmnt/<ORACLE_SID>
			/usr/sap/<ORACLE_SID>,
			/usr/sap/trans/<ORACLE_HOME>
			It is recommended that you save
			these directories in a separate backup
			session.
NOTE	Note that the sapdata<n> and saplog or origlog/mirrlog
	subdirectories of the <SAPDATA_HOME> directory should not be saved.
	See online Help for details on other specific Data Protector backup
	options.
	Creating or Modifying the Parameter File on the SAP
	R/3 Database Server
	The parameter file is used by SAP R/3 to set specific SAP R/3 backup
	options in case these options are not yet specified using the backup
	command. A template for the parameter file is located on the SAP R/3
	Database Server as:
	•	On UNIX: <ORACLE_HOME>/dbs/init<ORACLE_SID>.sap
		where <ORACLE_SID> represents the identifier for your database.
	•	On Windows: <ORACLE_HOME>\database\init<ORACLE_SID>.sap

To link the Data Protector SAP R/3 Integration Module with the SAP R/3 backup and restore interface, modify the backup_dev_type parameter in the parameter file.

You can find this parameter in the following section of the parameter file:

#backup device type

#[disk tape tape_auto pipe pipe_auto rman_util util_file_online util_file ]

#default: tape

backup_dev_type = util_file
