Change DB13 BRBACKUP parameter

[cedillof]

Hi everyone, I have an issue I hope somebody have the answer.

Scenario Description

My SAP platform is SAP ECC 5.0 / Windows 2003 SP2 IA64 / Oracle 10G + RAC

I configured a new tape library for backups using HP Dataprotector 6.0

We have some problems first with de DP SAP integration, but we solved them.

So, first I succesfully run the backup from BRTOOLS using the command

F:\usr\sap\PRD\SYS\exe\run\brbackup.exe -u system/********* -p brtools_rman.sap -c -m all

Then we run succesfully the backup from DP setting in the backup the user system

and setting the integration specific option "-p brtools_rman.sap -c" .

With this backups there is no problem, they ran succesfully and in TCODE DB12 are green.

The PROBLEM

Ok the issue is when trying to schedule a backup from TCODE DB13, in some point ther is the an error with the backint (end of message).

The only difference is the way they start brtools

Succesfull command:

F:\usr\sap\PRD\SYS\exe\run\brbackup.exe -u system/********* -p brtools_rman.sap -c -m all

Error command:

brbackup -u / -jid PRTON20081125194451 -c force -t online -p brtools_rman.sap -w use_dbv -m all

The question is how do I modify brbackup parameter in DB13, so I can set the user system?

Thanks for your help.

Franklin

Hello,

the SAP way of doing a backup is not to modify DB13, but to make brbackup -u / work.

For a start, I would check permissions of brbackup program, according to SAP note 113747.

hope this helps

PS: sorry, SAP note 113747 is for Unix.

Please check for similar approach in Windows!

From DB13 the backup wasnt succesful. We opened a suppor message with SAP and the answer was that it could be a third party vendor issue (HP DP). So we do backups from DP Cell Manager, it works fine this way and it also uses brbackup (which was SAP recomendation, no matter who calls it)

[cedillof]

Which way for making backup is the recomended? Using the Data Protector Cell manager or using the SAP TCODE DB13 ??

[former_member204746]

no recommendations, really.

both ways will work.

scheduling it from DB13 has the advantage of seeing backup status from DB13 calendar.

other than that, backup status will still be available from DB12.

read SAP note 400241. it should resolved your username/password issue.
