Integrating SAP DB/MaxDB and Data Protector

 

Configuring the Integration

 

To obtain an error description, start the following command on the

 

SAP DB/MaxDB Server system:

 

On HP-UX:

 

/opt/omni/lbin/omnigetmsg 12 <Error_number>

 

On other UNIX:

 

/usr/omni/bin/omnigetmsg 12 <Error_number>

Windows

In a cluster environment, the environment variable OB2BARHOSTNAME

 

must be defined as the virtual hostname before running the

 

util_sapdb.exe command from the command line (on the client). The

 

OB2BARHOSTNAME variable is set as follows:

 

set OB2BARHOSTNAME=<virtual_hostname>

 

To check the configuration, run the following command on the

 

SAP DB/MaxDB Server system:

 

<Data_Protector_home>\bin\util_sapdb.exe -chkconf

 

<Instance_Name>

 

If an error occurs, it is explained.

 

Testing the Integration

 

Once you have created and saved a backup specification, you should test

 

it before running a backup.
