Integrating Oracle and Data Protector

 

Configuring the Integration

 

2. Check the presence of the MML LIBOBK2SHR32.EXE in the

 

SYS$SHARE: directory.

 

 

NOTE

The logical definition for SYS$SHARE:LIBOBK2SHR32.EXE is

 

$DEFINE/SYSTEM DP_SBT SYS$SHARE:LIBOBK2SHR32.EXE.

 

You are now ready to use the MML with RMAN to perform backups. For

 

 

information on how to use RMAN, see the Oracle documentation.

After Relinking

To test the MML (SBT) interface, configure Oracle 9i using the GUI (see

 

“Configuring Oracle Databases” on page 24).

 

Configuring Oracle Users on UNIX and OpenVMS

 

On UNIX and OpenVMS, to start an Oracle backup session, a user needs

 

to perform an operating system logon to the system where an Oracle

 

Server is running.

 

If properly configured, this user is allowed to back up or restore an

 

Oracle database. To start a backup of an Oracle database using Data

 

Protector, the user must also become the owner of the Data Protector

 

backup specification.

 

As the owner of the backup specification, the Oracle user must be added

 

to the Data Protector admin or operator user group. On OpenVMS,

 

configure a Data Protector admin user with the username <Any> and the

 

group name <Any>.

 

On UNIX, you can identify this user by running the following command

 

on the Oracle Server system:

 

ps -efgrep ora_pmon_<DB_NAME>

 

or

 

ps -efgrep ora_lgwr_<DB_NAME>
