Integrating SAP R/3 and Data Protector

Restoring an SAP R/3 Database

filenames are displayed correctly only if the encoding is set to the encoding of the filesytem and not with the encoding of the database (ja_JP.eucJP).

Limitations

•You cannot restore SAP R/3 tablespaces that are located on raw partitions using the Data Protector GUI. Instead, use SAP R/3 restore tools (for example, brrestore).

Finding Information Needed for Restore

To find the information needed for a restore, follow the steps below:

Execute the following commands:

•omnidb -sap

to get a list of SAP R/3 objects.

•omnidb -sap<object_name>

to get details on a specific object, including the SessionID.

Restoring Using the Data Protector GUI

To restore the SAP R/3 objects using the Data Protector GUI, proceed as follows:

1.In the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Manager, switch to the Restore context.

2.In the Scoping Pane, expand Restore Objects, SAP R/3, and then select the SAP R/3 Database server from which you want to restore. A list of backed up objects is displayed in the Results Area. See Figure 2-16.
