Restoring using the SAP commands

You can start a restore of the SAP R/3 database using the SAP BRRESTORE command.
The command uses the Data Protector backint interface to restore files backed up
with Data Protector.

1.

Log in to the SAP R/3 client as the Oracle OS user.

2.

Ensure that you have enough disk space. BRRESTORE needs additional disk
space to restore the control file and archived redo log files.

3.

Specify the Oracle database to be restored by setting the OB2APPNAME
environment variable:

UNIX:

export OB2APPNAME=ORACLE_SID

Windows:

set OB2APPNAME=ORACLE_SID

NOTE:

If you have more than one database corresponding to the same
ORACLE_SID

name, also specify the client:

UNIX:

export OB2HOSTNAME=client_name

Windows:

set OB2HOSTNAME=client_name

4.

If you plan do restores in the RMAN mode, ensure that the SBT_LIBRARY
parameter in the initSAP_instance.sap file points to the correct
platform–specific Data Protector MML. For details on the Data Protector MML
location, see

Step 3

on page 88.

5.

Run the SAP restore command.

Restoring using another device

You can restore using a device other than that used for backup.

Using the Data Protector GUI

On how to specify another device for restore using the Data Protector GUI, see the
online Help index: “restore, selecting devices for”.
