Hi

1. Initialize init<dbsid>.dba & init<dbsid>.sap

2. Set the Environment variables at OS

3. Make sure your backup software(HP Storage, Legato,etc) is running fine to write to tapes.

4. Logon to the OS as SIDadm & start brtools through cmd or from run DIR.

All the help you need is available on help.sap.com

Hi Again,

Thanks for that Information, I got that same menu... but my question is

we have PI Server DEV/QAS/PRD and IP-PRD server has already setup for BRTOOLS and saved oracle files in local HDD...

When I login SAP and Tr: DB12 it does shows all backup has been sucessfully done... and I can check logs... anyway!!!

Now I am trying to same setup in PI-DEV server, what is the first step I have to follow: Do I have to login SAP login first and apply some Transaction code ? or goto dos prompt and follow the menu... pretty confousing....

Please if some one has step by step configuration to new setup for BRTOOLS setup...

If i get Screenshot that would be winderful

Thanks in Advanced...
