Integrating SAP DB/MaxDB and Data Protector
Configuring the Integration
Chapter 3272
The value of the Parallelism option must be equal as
or lower than the SAP DB/MaxDB MAXBACKUPDEVS
parameter.
The value of the Parallelism option must also be
equal as or lower than the sum of concurrency values
for all backup devices selected in the backup
specification. For more information on the Data
Protector Concurrency option, see online Help index:
“concurrency“.
Modifying the Configuration of an SAP DB/MaxDB
Instance in Data Protector
The parameters that need to be specified during the configuration of an
SAP DB/MaxDB instance in Data Protector are the username and the
password of the SAP DB/MaxDB user created or identified as described
in the section “Configuring Users” on page 263, and the SAP DB/MaxDB
independent program path parameter (the latter is, by default, detected
automatically). These parameters are also used for establishing the
connection to the SAP DB/MaxDB Server system if you start non-backup
and non-restore-related operations in Data Protector, such as listing of
objects for backup.
The configuration is performed during the creation of a new backup
specification, or by modifying an existing backup specification. For the
step-by-step procedure on creating an SAP DB/MaxDB backup
specification, see “Creating a Backup Specification” on page 264.
If properly configured, the SAP DB/MaxDB user entered is allowed to
back up or restore SAP DB/MaxDB Server database objects. In order to
start a backup of an SAP DB/MaxDB object using Data Protector, the
user must also be the owner of the Data Protector backup specification.
Refer to the SAP DB/MaxDB documentation for further information on
different types of connections, roles and authorities of SAP DB/MaxDB
database administrators and security issues that must be considered.
The configuration of an SAP DB/MaxDB instance in Data Protector can
be modified using the Data Protector GUI or CLI.
