Overview
Configuring the Data Protector SAP R/3 integration consists of these
steps:
1. If you intend to use the Oracle Recovery Manager to backup the SAP
R/3 database files, install and configure the Data Protector Oracle
integration. When the Data Protector Oracle integration is
configured, it is recommended to run a test Data Protector Oracle
backup using the Oracle Recovery Manager.
2. Configure the SAP R/3 user (on UNIX systems only).
3. Configure the SAP R/3 Database Server.
Configuring an SAP R/3 User in Data Protector (UNIX
Systems Only)
On UNIX systems, to start an SAP R/3 backup session, you need an
operating system logon on the system where an SAP R/3 Database
Server is running.
In addition, this user has to be registered in the Oracle database and
identified by SAP R/3 through the operating system identification.
This means that Oracle Server does not request connection information
from an application started under such user account, but only checks
whether the user is registered in the database.
Refer to the SAP R/3 and Oracle documentation for further information
about different types of connections, about roles and privileges of Oracle
database administrators, and about security issues that should be
considered.
Further on, this user is allowed to backup and restore an SAP R/3
database. In order to start a backup of an SAP R/3 database using Data
Protector, this user has to become the owner of the Data Protector
backup specification.
As the owner of the backup specification, the user has to be added to
either the Data Protector admin or operator user group.
