SAP Oracle Database Backup

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I have SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 7 IDES running on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Oracle 12.1.0.2. I need to schedule database backup to disk using DB13 and I know I need to change init<SID>.sap parameters to backup to disk. I cannot see that file and even a file with the parameters to change from tape to disk. Please find attached screenshot with the files in my database folder not sure if I have to add the parameters if they are not there.

Regards,

Macdonald

Hello Macdonald,

a default init<SID>.sap is included in the brtools bundle. So you should have one in the SAP kernel directory, where you should have extracted the brtools SAR file. You can then copy that file in the Oracle database directory and change according your needs.

Hi Macdonald,

You can find the default intiSID.sap in /sapmnt/<SID>/exe

You can copy the file to desired directory ,change the name to init<SID>.sap ,modify the parameters and use it
