custom_sort_file <file_path>

Specify this parameter only when the sort_backup_type or the sort_restore_type parameters are set to custom.

When custom is specified, set the custom_sort_file parameter to a valid file. The file_path value must be a full path name to a custom sort file that an end user created, and it must have public permissions. The following is an example argument to the custom_sort_file parameter:

UNIX or Linux:

/usr/openv/dbext/ext/db_ext/sap/scripts/sap_custom_sort_file

Windows:

install_path\NetBackup\dbext\SAP\Samples\sap_custom_sort_file

The custom sort file must include two fields. The first field groups a set of files into a particular job. The second field is a file path name that maps the SAP backup file list to a group ID.

The following is an example of a custom sort file for Windows:

1 c:\oracle\sap\sapdata1\btabd_1\btabd.data1
1 c:\oracle\sap\sapdata2\btabi_1\btabi.data1
1 c:\oracle\sap\sapdata2\clud_1\clud.data1

2 c:\oracle\sap\saplog1\log_g4_m1\log4_m1.dbf
2 c:\oracle\sap\dbs\cntrlSAP.dbf

The following is an example of a custom sort file for UNIX or Linux:

1 /oracle/sap/sapdata1/btabd_1/btabd.data1
1 /oracle/sap/sapdata2/btabi_1/btabi.data1
1 /oracle/sap/sapdata2/clud_1/clud.data1

1 /oracle/sap/sapdata1/el30ci_1/el30ci.data1
1 /oracle/sap/sapdata6/es30cd_1/es30cd.data1
1 /oracle/sap/sapdata2/poold_1/poold.data1
1 /oracle/sap/sapdata1/pooli_1/pooli.data1
1 /oracle/sap/sapdata4/protd_1/protd.data1

1 /dev/rdsk/c0t4d0s6

2 /oracle/sap/sapdata1/roll_1/roll.data1
2 /oracle/sap/sapdata2/sourced_1/sourced.data1
2 /oracle/sap/sapdata3/stabd_1/stabd.data1
2 /oracle/sap/sapdata2/stabi_2/stabi.data2
2 /oracle/sap/sapdata1/temp_1/temp.data1
2 /oracle/sap/sapdata4/user1d_1/user1d.data1
2 /oracle/sap/sapdata2/user1i_1/user1i.data1
2 /oracle/sap/sapdata1/system_1/system.data1

2 /oracle/sap/saplog1/log_g2_m1/log2_m1.dbf
2 /oracle/sap/saplog1/log_g3_m1/log3_m1.dbf
2 /oracle/sap/saplog1/log_g4_m1/log4_m1.dbf
2 /oracle/sap/dbs/cntrlSAP.dbf

Based on the custom sort file, if SAP tools submit the entire file list to backint for backup, two jobs are created. The first job includes all the files that have a "1" in the first field. The second job includes all the files that have a "2" in the first field.
