	Integrating SAP DB/MaxDB and Data Protector
	Introduction
	The integration supports SAP DB/MaxDB migration, meaning that an
	SAP DB/MaxDB instance can be restored to an SAP DB/MaxDB Server
	or instance other than the original. In such a case, if the SAP DB/MaxDB
	Server has not yet been configured for the Data Protector
	SAP DB/MaxDB integration, it must be configured before the restore is
	started. If the instance does not exist, it must be configured before the
	restore is started. During the migration, the existing data is overwritten
	and the existing redo logs are deleted.
	During the restore or migration, the archive logs on the SAP DB/MaxDB
	Server are never deleted.
Parallelism	The integration also takes advantage of the concept of SAP DB/MaxDB
	media and media groups, thus providing parallel backup and restore of
	SAP DB/MaxDB objects. Several SAP DB/MaxDB media are grouped in
	an SAP DB/MaxDB media group, which is then backed up or restored in
	streams. This is referred to as SAP DB/MaxDB parallelism.
	SAP DB/MaxDB Parallelism can be utilized only if the value of the Data
	Protector Parallelism option is equal to or lower than the sum of Data
	Protector concurrency values for all backup devices selected in the
	backup specification. See “SAP DB/MaxDB Specific Backup Options” on
	page 270 for more information on the Data Protector Parallelism
	option.
Permissions	Data Protector backup and restore operations on the SAP DB/MaxDB
	instance require the SAP DB/MaxDB Restoring backups (Recovery)
	and Saving backups (Backup) permissions, whereas Data Protector
	configuration operation requires also the SAP DB/MaxDB Installation
	management (InstallMgm) and Parameter access (ParamCheckWrite)
	permissions. The backup can be performed in either the SAP DB/MaxDB
	Online or Admin mode.
Supported	Refer to the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Product
Platforms	Announcements, Software Notes, and References or
	http://www.hp.com/support/manuals for up-to-date information about
	platforms supported by the integration.
Advantages	Using Data Protector with the SAP DB/MaxDB Database Server offers
	several advantages over using SAP DB/MaxDB alone:
	• Central Management for all backup operations
	You can manage backup operations from a central point. This is
	especially important in large business environments.
