Integrating SAP DB/MaxDB and Data Protector
Restoring an SAP DB/MaxDB Database
Chapter 3302
Create SAP DB/MaxDB media in an SAP DB/MaxDB media group.
Execute the following command for every medium to be created:
medium_put <media_group_name>/<medium_name> <pipe_name>
<media_type> <backup_type>
Where <backup_type> can be one of the following:
• DATA for full backup
• PAGES for differential (diff) backup
• LOG for transactional (trans) backup
IMPORTANT When creating SAP DB/MaxDB media and pipes for the purpose of a
Data Protector backup and restore, the media group name must begin
with the “BACK” string. The commands below create two media and two
pipes (parallelism = 2) in a media group:
Windows medium_put BACKDP-Data[2]/1 \
\\.\Pipe\<inst_name>.BACKDP_Data[2].1 PIPE DATA
medium_put BACKDP-Data[2]/2 \
\\.\Pipe\<inst_name>.BACKDP_Data[2].2 PIPE DATA
UNIX medium_put BACKDP-Data[2]/1 \
/var/opt/omni/tmp/<inst_name>.BACKDP_Data[2].1 PIPE
DATA
medium_put BACKDP-Data[2]/2 \
/var/opt/omni/tmp/<inst_name>.BACKDP_Data[2].2 PIPE
DATA
6. Start the SAP DB/MaxDB utility session by executing the following
command:
util_connect
7. Start the restore from a Data Protector backup session by executing
the following command:
recover_start <media_group_name> <backup_type> EBID
"<inst_name> <SessionID>:1 <pipe_name1>,<inst_name>
<SessionID>:2 <pipe_name2>[, ...]"
