How to shutdown SAP instance during an offline backup

30 Views

Hi,

I know that the WPs go into reconnect status during an offline brbackup. But due to other needs, I intend to use this time-window to restart the SAP instance too. Is there a way I could achieve this in a single script.

Things I already tried (and did not help!)

1. For obvious reasons, "offline" backup would not go through since SAP is "running"

2. Backup mode "offline_force" did not (and is not expected to anyways!) stop SAP instance.

3. Set the profile parameters pre_shut_cmd = "stopsap r3" and post_shut_cmd = "startsap r3". This would not work since ora<sid> cannot restart SAP instance

4. I tried running brbackup with <sid>adm; however couldnt take it through - too many changes to make in terms of file permissions.

Any suggestions are really appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Vivek
