Integrating SAP R/3 and Data Protector

Restoring an SAP R/3 Database

Restoring Using the Data Protector CLI

Cluster-AwareIn a cluster environment, the environment variable OB2BARHOSTNAME

Clientsmust be defined as the virtual hostname before starting a restore procedure from the command line (on the client). The OB2BARHOSTNAME variable is set as follows:

•On UNIX: export OB2BARHOSTNAME=<virtual_hostname>

•On Windows: set OB2BARHOSTNAME=<virtual_hostname>

Localized SAP R/3 If the names of backed up objects contain characters that cannot be

object names displayed using the current language group (on Windows) or code page (on UNIX):

✓Set the environment variable OB2_CLI_UTF8 to 1.

✓Windows only: Set the encoding used by the terminal to UTF-8.

If not set, backup objects returned by the Data Protector CLI commands (for example omnidb) may not be usable when providing the parameters to other Data Protector commands (for example omnir).

The omnir

Using the CLI, execute the following command:

Command

omnir -sap <Host:Set> -session <SessionID> [-copyid

 

 

<CopyID>] -tree<FileName>

 

where FileName must be specified as follows:

 

Windows: Full pathname of the file must be specified using UNIX

 

syntax (slashes and not backslashes) starting with the root directory (/),

 

drive letter, and colon. For example: -tree /c:/oracle/log.dbf.

 

UNIX: Full pathname of the file must be specified. For example: -tree

 

/app/oracle/log.dbf.

 

Provide the SessionID of the backup session. If you want to restore from

 

a specific object copy, provide also the CopyID, which selects the specific

 

object copy (object mirror or object copy) to be used for restore. By default

 

(if the -copyidoption is not specified), Data Protector selects the media

 

set to restore from automatically.

Examples

Windows:

 

omnir -sap computer.company.com:ABA.0 -session 2006/01/23-1

 

-tree /C:/oracle/ABA/sapdata1/btabd_1/btabd_1.dat
