Testing Using the Data Protector CLI

A test can be executed from the CLI on the SAP R/3 Database Server system or on any other Data Protector client within the same cell, provided that the systems have the Data Protector User Interface installed.

Run the omnib command with the -test_baroption as follows:

•On HP-UX and Solaris: /opt/omni/bin/omnib -sap_list \ <backup_specification_name> -test_bar

•On other UNIX: /usr/omni/bin/omnib -sap_list \ <backup_specification_name> -test_bar

•On Windows: <Data_Protector_home>\bin\omnib -sap_list<backup_specification_name> -test_bar

What Happens? The session messages are displayed on the screen during the command execution, while the following happens:

The omnisap.exe program is started, which then starts the Data

Protector testbar command. This command then checks:

•the communication within Data Protector,

•the syntax of the SAP R/3 backup specification,

•if the devices are correctly specified,

•if the required media reside in the devices.
