Veritas NetBackup™ for SAP Administrator's Guide

switch_list <control_file_path>

This parameter specifies a control file that communicates from the NetBackup for SAP backint interface to brbackup for online backups. A switch list file is created each time backint wants to take a snapshot, or back up a file. The switch list file is also created when it wants to indicate that a snapshot or backup is finished.

Note:

Not applicable in MaxDB database environments or in any Oracle database environments that use RMAN.

The switch_list parameter must specify a file path in one of the following locations:

$SAPDATA_HOME/sapbackup/.switch.lis

The following are examples of valid entries:

switch_list /oracle/sap/sapbackup/.switch.lis
