Verify that the SAP backup tools correctly start backint (which is provided by
Data Protector):

Move the original backint and create a test script named backint in the
directory where the SAP backup utility resides, with the following entries:

#!/usr/bin/sh
echo "Test backint called as follows:"
echo "$0 $*"
echo "exiting 3 for a failure"
exit 3

Then start the following commands as the Oracle database user described in

Configuring user accounts

” on page 168:

brbackup -t offline -d util_file -u user/password -c

If you receive backint arguments, this means that SAP is properly configured for
backup using backint; otherwise you have to reconfigure SAP.

See

Configuring SAP R/3 databases

” on page 173.

IMPORTANT:

The procedure described in the previous sections must be performed before you start
checking the Data Protector configuration.

1.

Verify that the Data Protector software has been installed properly.

Refer to the HP Data Protector installation and licensing guide for details.

2.

Perform a filesystem backup of the SAP R/3 Database Server:

Perform a filesystem backup of the SAP Database Server system so that you can
eliminate any potential communication problems between the SAP Database
Server and the Data Protector Cell Manager system.

Do not start troubleshooting an online database backup unless you have
successfully completed a filesystem backup of the SAP Database Server system.

See the online Help index “standard backup procedure” for details about how
to do a filesystem backup.
