Central Installation of brtools for different SID

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have 3 oracle instances installed on a same server A. The 3 oracle instances are for ECC 6 dev, BI dev, and solman dev respectively.

We would like to use symantec backup to backup the 3 oracle database. The symantec remote agent for sap is required to be installed on the same location as the brtools.exe. Currently, brtools is installed at usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64

My questions:

1) Is it possible to have brtools in 1 central location and used by all the 3<SID>s?

2) May I know how to configure this? Any documentation?

pls assist.

Thank you

regards,

zl

I doubt that this will work. Theoretically you can make it working but how to tell the backint which database it should backup? To keep it easy I would just install backint three times.

Only 1 copy of backint per server.

Who says that? Symantec?

yes.

i'm trying to find out if anyone hv done this before from sap side.

I check the symatec docs briefly and I see nowhere that it's not possible to copy backint to more than one directory... you can, of course, install only one agent - yes.

Just to update.

brtools installed on a central location, works.

Check the thread below..

BRTOOLS files are not executed from NTADM64 directory....You can have the same exes in run directory

Hi,

The database and the application are all on the same server for the 3 system. we want to put the brtools in a central location and used by all the 3 system. i noticed the environment variable SAPEXE is pointing to usr\sap\<SID>\sys\exe\uc\NTAMD64

Is it possible to copy all the files (including brtools) from usr\sap\<SID>\sys\exe\uc\NTAMD64 to a central location and change the SAPEXE environment variable to point to the central location?

will not change the environment variable for the Oracle_Home, SAPDATA_HOME for the 3 respective system.

Any idea?

thank you.

'Is it possible to copy all the files (including brtools) from usr\sap\<SID>\sys\exe\uc\NTAMD64 to a central location and change the SAPEXE environment variable to point to the central location?'

So, you want to run all three SIDs via a single kernel ? Never heard of this kind of experiment
