Hello Gary, >I want to backup SAPDB using Omniback. I thought you had to use Backint for >SAPDB and Backint for Oracle.
That is correct. >The documentation is very confusing. Therefore it was improved in the newest version. You can find that under http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/htmhelp/43/e0f23ab6b4317de10000000a11402f/frameset.htm . >1. I am using DBMGUI to test the backup linkage. To use >Omniback, I thought the name had to start with BACK. That is correct too, but if you would like to create a backup into a file not into Omniback, a name starting with BACK must not be used. >2. When using DBMGUI the BSI_ENV variable is invoked that >calls the bsi.env file The DBMServer sees the medium name starting with BACK and opens the bsi.env file. > a. What need's to be in this file ? Iam thinking it is >the syntax on page 22 of the "External backup Tools : for >SAPDB" manual? Please have a look into the new documentation under http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/htmhelp/55/a81d36451f11d5992400508b6b8b11/frameset.htm . > b. What needs to be in the parameter file > backint -u control,control -f <type> -t <file>? I don't understand this part of your question. Please have a look into http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/htmhelp/83/f718a89e867446a29f5d822c409efa/frameset.htm for an overview, of how to install Backint for Oracle with SAP DB. >3. How does the control file for backint for oracle get evoked > > a. What needs to be in this file? I am thinking it is the syntax on >page 18 of the "External backup Tools : for SAPDB" manual? This file must be described by the supplier of Backint for Oracle. As far as I know no such file is used with Omniback. > b. What needs to be in the parameter file > backint?? The format of the parameter file of Backint for SAP DB is described under http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/htmhelp/91/24b97d483411d5992500508b6b8b11/frameset.htm . >2 and 3 could be reversed, ( i.e., the bsi.env file could be for Oracle. > >At this point I'm confused, if someone could exactly specify what needs to >be done Please read the documentation mentioned above. >I would appreciate it. i.e., what the dbmgui fields should contain, You have to create a backup medium, whose name starts with BACK, whose type is PIPE und whose location is something like \\.\pipe\<name> on Windows or something like /tmp/<name> on UNIX. >what exactly needs to be in the bsi.env file and what to name the other >configuration file and what it contains. >I don't have a naming convention, so if all the files need to be named >something specific. ( i.e., do the in, out and error files have to be named >backint4oracle or backint4sapdb and so on ) Just configure the names as they fit you and your situation.
