Integrating Oracle and Data Protector
Configuring an Oracle Backup
Chapter 152
Testing the Integration
Once you have created and saved a backup specification, you should test
it before running a backup. The test verifies both parts of the integration,
the Oracle side and the Data Protector side. In addition, the
configuration is tested as well.
The procedure consists of checking both the Oracle and the Data
Protector parts of the integration to ensure that communication between
Oracle and Data Protector is established, that the data transfer works
properly, and that the transactions are recorded either in the recovery
catalog (if used) or in the control file.
Details of the test backup, such as media protection, backup user and
backup status are registered in the Data Protector database and in the
Oracle control files. Set the Protection option of your test backup
specification to None.
Testing Using the Data Protector GUI
Follow the procedure below to test the backup of an Oracle backup
specification:
1. In the Data Protector Manager, switch to the Backup context.
2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Backup, then Backup Specifications.
Expand Oracle Server and right-click the backup specification you
want to preview.
3. Click Preview Backup.
