How to setup DB13 job to use DataProtector 6.0

[Former Member]

I have DataProtector 6.0 and backup works great when I run backups from DataProtector cell manager.

How to setup same job to run from db13 scheduler?

Hi,

For what I understand you are not using BRBACKUP for your backups.

Then you cannot use DB13, the calendar works only with BR* tools.

Any other use is not supported.

Hi,

I use brbackup and its work fine when I start backup job from Dataprotector.

From DB13 i need to put util_par_file and I don't know how to setup parameters in that file.

That parameter does not need to be specified on the command line, you have to modify the init<SID>.sap

I put in init<SID>.sap

backup_dev_type = util_file_online

Then I need to specify init<SID>.utl to tell brbackup how to comunicate with dataprotector.

I tried so many options and ....

backup_dev_type = util_file_online

<b>util_par_file=init<SID>.utl</b>

DB13 cannot be "modified", all command line parameters ( or are they called options? )have an equivalent on the init<SID>.sap

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

So every parameter from <init<SID>.sap can be in init<SID>.utl?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

I have not said so.

init<sid>.sap contains parameters for BR* tools

init<sid>.utl contains parameter for 3rd party ( non SAP ) tools

if you call BRBACKUP with the options

-d

-m

- ...

all those options can be specified on the init<sid>.sap, only need to specify them on the command line if you want a different behaviour.

you are specifying the init<sid>.utl on the command line and you want to modify DB13 to add this option.

Do not modify DB13 ( as mentioned, it is not supported ), change the init<sid>.sap to include the parameters <b>backup_dev_type</b> and <b>util_par_file</b> and you do not have to specify it on the command line ( nor modify DB13 )

Ok. I will try to do that.

Hi Joe,

yes it works great for me.

I can run backup from db13 and from DP Cell Manager.

When running session from db13 you need to set session name and bar list on client to values specified in your DP Cell Manager.

Hi,

I used DP6.0 too and I interested in backup from db13 to do the job,So,Please give me on details that you have to configure from DP and initSID.utl file

Hi, you don't need to change initSID.utl file.

All you need is to create backup specification for SAP R/3.

Then on the client you want to backup export OB2BARLIST=your backup specification to backup job name.

Try search on HP ITRC since I lost link for the thread.

I would like also to find way to do that through paremeters in initSID.utl file.

Did you got your backups to work?

I also use DATAProtector and I'm interested on this solution.

Thanks,
