sort_backup_type size (default)
This value is the default for the sort_backup_type parameter.
If sort_backup_type size is specified, backint sorts the files by size before distributing them amongst the jobs based upon the drives that are specified in the initSID.utl file.
The number of drives that are specified does not have to equal the number of physical storage units. The number of drives correlates to the number of simultaneous jobs created by the NetBackup for SAP backint interface. For example, if you have 10 SAP files and three tape drives, you can specify 10 drives in the initSID.utl file. This value creates 10 jobs with one file for each bpbackup job. NetBackup handles all of the job scheduling. Initially, three jobs are active and the other seven jobs are queued.
Note:
Not applicable in MaxDB database environments or in any Oracle database environments that use RMAN.
For example, if three tape drives are specified, the files are divided evenly into three bpbackup jobs based on size. So, if there are 25 input files from SAP and three tape drives, then three bpbackup jobs run at the same time.
The following files are in each job, on UNIX or Linux:
