Veritas NetBackup™ for SAP Administrator's Guide

Linking NetBackup for SAP with backint (UNIX or Linux Oracle databases without RMAN only)

Perform the following procedures only if you use NetBackup for SAP with an Oracle database but without the Oracle recovery manager (RMAN).

SAP requires that all SAP tools be located in a predetermined directory. The directory path is as follows:

/usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run

where SID is the unique name for an Oracle database instance. SID is also known as the System ID.

The directory should contain the following commands:

  • brarchive

  • brbackup

  • brconnect

  • brrestore

  • brtools

  • sapdba

To link the NetBackup for SAP binary file (UNIX or Linux Oracle databases without RMAN only)

  • Link backint from the NetBackup install directory to the SAP tools directory.
    ln -s /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backint \
    /usr/sap/CER/SYS/exe/run/backint

Note:

Never copy the file from one directory to another. Whenever NetBackup is upgraded it replaces/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backint with a new version. SAP automatically uses the updated file by the symbolic link. Copying a file can give errors.
