client <client_name>

This parameter specifies the host name by which the master server knows this SAP client, as entered into the policy. In some cases the server and the client host are same hosts. The following is an example:

client saturn

If the NetBackup for SAP backint interface finds the $SAP_CLIENT (%SAP_CLIENT%) environment variable, the $SAP_CLIENT environment variable value overrides the client parameter value.

If the client parameter is not specified, and there is no environment variable, the client parameter defaults to the value that is specified for the CLIENT_NAME option in the bp.conf file or the registry. If the value is not specified there, the NetBackup for SAP backint interface uses the value the gethostname()library function returns.
