Integrating SAP DB/MaxDB and Data Protector

Restoring an SAP DB/MaxDB Database

When using the CLI, it is not possible to change the user name and the group name. The same user as used during the backup session is used.

Settings / N/A Click this button if the instance you are restoring to is

 

not yet configured for use with this integration. See

 

step 4. on page 273 for information on parameters that

 

must be entered.

 

When using the CLI, this option is not available. To

 

configure the instance, use the util_sapdb.exe utility

 

as described in “Modifying the Configuration of an SAP

 

DB/MaxDB Instance Using the CLI” on page 274.

Recovery Options

Use the recovery options to recover the database by applying the redo

 

logs until the latest version or until the specified date and time.

 

 

IMPORTANT

There are several scenarios, depending on the backup option Keep

 

archive logs and the recovery option Use existing archive logs, in

 

which a gap of transactions between the sequence of redo logs on the

 

SAP DB/MaxDB Server and the restored volumes can occur. When

 

performing recovery (when the database is switched to the Online

 

mode), SAP DB/MaxDB always checks whether such a gap exists,

 

regardless of the point in time selected for recovery. If such a gap exists,

 

the recovery is not performed and the database remains in the Admin

 

mode, unless the existing redo logs are manually deleted before starting

 

the restore.

 

The following are descriptions of the recovery options. First the GUI

 

 

option is given, followed by a slash (/), CLI equivalent, and then

 

description.

 

Recovery / -recoverWhen this option is selected, the database is

 

recovered after the restore (it is switched to Online

 

mode) by applying the redo logs until the latest version

 

(if the Latest version option is selected) or until the

 

specified date and time (if the Until date option is

 

selected).
