Integrating SAP DB/MaxDB and Data Protector

Restoring an SAP DB/MaxDB Database

When a transactional backup session is selected for restore, or when it is a part of the needed restore chain, and the Use existing archive logs option is selected at the same time, the archive logs from Data Protector media are applied to redo logs. Thereafter, the archive logs on the SAP DB/MaxDB Server are applied to redo logs.

•If the Use existing archive logs option is not selected, the backed up archive logs on backup media are applied to the redo logs (if trans backup session is restored), or the redo logs are left intact together with the existing archive logs on the SAP DB/MaxDB Server (if full or diff backup session is restored).

NOTE	The Use existing archive logs option is disabled in case of
	SAP DB/MaxDB migration, thus allowing only for the restore of redo logs
	from the backed up archive logs on backup media (if trans backup
	session is restored).
