Procedure documentation Connecting to a Backint for SAP DB Interface Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

External backup tools that have their own Backint for SAP DB interface are still being developed. The requirements of such an interface are described in the documentation Backup and Restore Interface for SAP DB Systems.

The section Connecting to a Backint for Oracle Interface describes the use of a Backint for SAP DB implementation with an adapter program. This implementation is a program developed by SAP DB and delivered with the SAP DB software package and is intended for connecting to Backint for Oracle. The configuration file that has to be created, however, corresponds to the configuration file that would have to be created for an external backup medium with its own Backint for SAP DB interface. This is the case if the requirements in the documentation Backup and Restore Interface for SAP DB Systems are met by the vendor.

Prerequisites

The version of your SAP DB database system supports the connection of a Backint for SAP DB interface (see Restrictions for Using Backint for SAP DB).

Procedure

To connect to a Backint for SAP DB interface, perform the following steps:

...

       1.      Create the configuration file for Backint for SAP DB, case 2.

       2.      Set the environment variables BSI_ENV for the Database Manager.

       3.      Export the environment variables of the external backup tool if this is allowed by the vendor of the external backup tool.
