Live cache backup

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am beginner to SCM and Live cache technology.

I have sucessfully installed SCM 5.0 and Live cache 7.6.29 on two different HP-Ux 11.23 servers.

My first requirent is to take live cache backup. But there is no tape drive connect to any of the server,

local file system assigned as backup space, accordingly I have successfully taken online backup of SCM database by modifying entries like backup_dev_type to tape in init<SID>.sap.

Know I am facing a challenge to take live cache backup on local file system , infact dont know how to take online live cache backup.

Another question is database manager gui is needed in unix environment, if yes please let me know the procedure how to configure this as In transaction lc10 upon double clicking database manager gui system generating error.

Please help to solve the above two problems.

Thanks & Regards,

Maqsood Ahmed

Hi Ahmed (no own SDN account? ).

I'd like to make a few remarks on this:

1. Backup to local filesystem w/o moving it to another location afterwards is next to useless. What happens when (when not if!), the local disk crashes? What backup can you use then?

2. You can perform liveCache Backups from DB13C/DBACockpit after you've integrated the liveCache instance (DB59).

3. If you like to administer the liveCache via DBMGUI - just install DBMGUI on your Windows Workstation and connect remotely to the liveCache. Actually this is the way how it was thought up.

For detailed information how to work with liveCache I propose you check:

• The documentation [Backup/Recovery SAP Library - Database Administration in CCMS: SAP liveCache Technology|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/e9/dc1c3e46903b2ee10000000a114084/content.htm]

• The SDN Content on liveCache [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/livecache]

• The SCM Technology pages in the SAP Service Marketplace [https://service.sap.com/scm] -> SAP SCM Technology

Good luck,

Lars
