Veritas NetBackup™ for SAP Administrator's Guide

To mix RMAN stream and RMAN proxy NetBackup for SAP backups

1. Copy initSID.sap to the initFullSID.sap and initIIncrSID.sap files.
2. Edit the init_fullSID.sap and initI_incrSID.sap.

   Edit the files as follows:

   • Specify the rman_parms parameter.

   • Set the NB_ORA_SAP environment variable to the initSID.utl path.

3. Edit the init_fullSID.sap file.

   Do the following:

   • Enable the rman_proxy flag.

   • Set the following, where "auto_sched" is the name of the automatic schedule:

     rman_send = "'NB_ORA_PC_SCHED=auto_sched'"

4. Copy following sample script to a different location on your client:

   on UNIX or Linux:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/sap/scripts/sap_oracle/sap_rman_backup

   on Windows:

   install_path\NetBackup\DbExt\SAP\samples\sap_rman_backup.cmd

5. On UNIX or Linux, modify the if..elif..fi condition as follows:

   if [ $SAP_FULL -eq 1 ]
   then CMD_LINE="$SAP_ENV brbackup -d rman_util -t offline -p initFullSID.sap -m full -c"
   elif [ $SAP_CINC -eq 1 ]
   then CMD_LINE="$SAP_ENV brbackup -d rman_util -t offline -p initIncrSID.sap -m incr -c"

6. On Windows, modify the condition as follows:

   @if "%SAP_FULL%" EQU "1" @set CMD_LINE=%BRBACKUP% -u internal/ -c -d rman_util -t 
   offline -m full -p initFullSID.sap
   @if "%SAP_CINC%" EQU "1" @set CMD_LINE=%BRBACKUP% -u internal/ -c -d rman_util -t 
   offline -m incr -p initIncrSID.sap

7. Specify the script from step 4 in the backup selection of your NetBackup for SAP policy
