Configuration File (Backint for SAP DB) 

To be able to use the backup tool Backint for SAP DB, you must create a configuration file as a step of the Configuration of the Backint for SAP DB Connection.

Procedure

You can define a parameter in the format <key_word> <value> in each line of the configuration file.

If you want to avoid a certain parameter being set by the configuration file, you must completely remove the corresponding line with the format <key_word> <value> from the configuration file.

You can use the following keywords to define parameters:

Keyword

Value

BACKINT

Absolute name of the Backint for SAP DB program

INPUT|OUTPUT| ERROROUTPUT

Absolute paths of files
The
Database Manager creates these files temporarily and uses them for standard input, output, and error output for Backint for SAP DB.

PARAMETERFILE

Absolute path of a parameter file
If
PARAMETERFILE <value> is specified, the path specified in <value> is sent to Backint for SAP DB every time the parameter is called. In this way, you can configure the Backint for SAP DB program. The format of this parameter file depends on which version of Backint for SAP DB you are using, and will be described by its vendor.

TIMEOUT_SUCCESS| TIMEOUT_FAILURE

Specifies how many seconds after starting the Database Manager waits for Backint for SAP DB to terminate in the case of success and of failure. Default values: TIMEOUT_SUCCESS 300, TIMEOUT_FAILURE 300

ORIGINAL_RUNDIRECTORY

Absolute path of the working directory of the source database
You should only specify the parameter
ORIGINAL_RUNDIRECTORY <value> in the case of a database migration (Restore of a database in a new working directory).
The prerequisite for the migration from one server to another is that the version of Backint for SAP DB that you are using can make backups from the source server available on the target server.

This value is case sensitive.
