Example initSID.sap file (NetBackup for SAP on Oracle databases only)
For example, assume that initSAP.sap is your profile file and initSAP.utl is your parameter file. You can use the following procedure to set parameters.
To edit the initSID.sap file (NetBackup for SAP on Oracle databases only)
- Use a text editor to open the initSAP.sap file.
- Find the following line:
backup_dev_type = tape
- Copy and paste this line under the original.
backup_dev_type = tape backup_dev_type = tape
- Comment out the original line.
#backup_dev_type = tape backup_dev_type = tape
- Change tape to util_file.
#backup_dev_type = tape backup_dev_type = util_file
- Find the following line:
util_par_file = file_path
- Copy and paste this line under the original.
util_par_file = file_path util_par_file = file_path
- Comment out the original line.
#util_par_file = file_path util_par_file = file_path
- Change file_path to the path to the initSID.utl parameter file.
UNIX or Linux:
#util_par_file = file_path util_par_file = ?/dbs/init@.utl
Windows:
#util_par_file = file_path util_par_file = ?\database\init@.utl
This example file uses environment variable settings and Oracle substitution characters. When the SAP tools interpret the initSID.sap profile file, they replace the question mark (?) and at sign (@) characters.
These characters are replaced with the values assigned to the $ORACLE_HOME (%ORACLE_HOME%) and $ORACLE_SID (%ORACLE_SID%) environment variables, respectively.
