Integrating SAP DB/MaxDB and Data Protector

Restoring an SAP DB/MaxDB Database

IMPORTANT

When using this option, make sure that the backup session selected in

 

the Properties for Data dialog box (when using GUI) or by the -session

 

option (when using CLI) will restore enough data for the integration to

 

apply the redo logs until the latest version or until the specified date and

 

time. For information on how to access the Properties for Data dialog

 

box, refer to step 3 on page 296. For information on the -sessionoption,

 

refer to “Restoring Using the Data Protector CLI” on page 297.

 

 

When this option is not selected, all other recovery options are disabled and the following happens after the restore:

If archive logs are not restored (if restore from a full backup session is performed), the database remains in the Admin mode after the restore.

If archive logs are restored, the database is, if the restored archive logs allow it, switched to the Online mode. If the database, however, cannot be switched to the Online mode (because the restored archive logs do not allow it), it remains in the Admin mode.

Latest version / -endlogsSelect this option to recover the database until the last log.

When using the CLI, this is the default option.

Until date / -time:<YYYY-MM-DD.hh.mm.ss>When using the GUI, select this option to recover the database until the point you select in the Until date drop-down menu.

When using the CLI, specify the -time:option if you want to recover the database until the point specified by the <YYYY-MM-DD.hh.mm.ss>argument.
