Export/set the following environmental variables:

ORACLE_SID=SAP_instance_name

ORACLE_HOME=Oracle_software_home_directory

[SAPBACKUP_TYPE=OFFLINE]

Default is ONLINE.

SAPDATA_HOME=database_files_directory

SAPBACKUP=BRTOOLS_logs_and_control_file_copy_directory

SAPREORG=BRSPACE_logs_directory

OB2BARLIST=backup_specification_name

The backup specification is needed only to specify which Data Protector
devices should be used for backup. Other information from the backup
specification, like SAP R/3 objects to be backed up or the BRBACKUP
options, is ignored and has to be specified manually at run time.

[OB2BARHOSTNAME=application_system_name]

Optional if you want to specify a virtual server name in cluster environments.

Alternatively, these variables can be specified in the backint parameter file. If
this is required, the location of the file must be specified in the SAP configuration
file using the util_par_file parameter:

util_par_file = path\filename

If you do not supply the path, the system searches for the parameter file in the
directory:

UNIX:

ORACLE_HOME/dbs

Windows:

SAPDATA_HOME\database

If you plan to do backups in the RMAN mode, ensure that the SBT_LIBRARY

location, see
