Backup name format

Former Member

Hello,

We're having an issue with the time it takes for our backups to run.  We're using NetBackup as our external backup tool.  We normally take backups using transaction DB13 in SAP.  We found that NetBackup has a recommendation on the format of the backup names, using bk_%s_%p_%t.  When I start a backup, the following command is generated by brbackup:

 

backup incremental level 1 cumulative tag bepdmxxx format '<SID>_bepdmxxx.%s_%p' filesperset 1 check logical

  database

Does anyone know how we can change this format?  I tried the rman configure command, but that didn't work.  Is there a way to do this with the rman_parms or rman_send parameters in init<SID>.sap?  I also came across an old SAP note that seems to apply to this situation, setting the variable BR_FTS to 1, but that didn't work either.  It seems like this should be a relatively easy change, but I'm not sure what else I can try.  I'd appreciate any recommendations you can give me.  Thank you!

If you are using BRBackup the log files will be created based on the .sap profile configuration used by the backup in the format mentioned here

Names of the BRBACKUP Detail Logs - SAP Database Guide: Oracle (BC-DB-ORA-DBA) - SAP Library

As far as I know there isn't an option to customize the backup log files.
