How to monitor Offline Backup

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

As i am taking Offline backups through third party tool Tivoli, but i have triggered the backup through DB13.

I would like to know how can i monitor whether the backup is happening or not, i mean i can i monitor the background process, as SAP is shitdown during the time when the offline backup is taken.

our's is AIX 5.3, by what means i can make sure on the OS level that backup is happening and what is the percentace..

Regards

Hi Ayush,

Do the below:

1) Login to the OS

2) goto -> cd /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup

3) ls -ltr *.afd to find the latest

backupid and its related file name

4) tail -f bdrnnrhv.afd by reading

the messages at the bottom of the file you can find if the backup is

running or finished.

5) To find a list of all the files

that have been backed up

cd /oracle/PRD/sapbackup/db

6) 1.5.3. cd <ID of the

backup file>

7) ls -l (gives the

list of all the files that have been

> backed up)

Also ps -ef command will give you the processes running.
