[Former Member]

Hi,

This is Angeline agian!

I am really sorry to saying that I couldn't found any Documents such as configuration about BR*TOOLS, I read sdn help, sap help and all others google search it...

Here is my Requirenments:

I have NW2004s under windows 2003 server... I didn't have configuration for BRTOOLS, I want to configure it step by step...

I went usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\run and in DOS prompt and run BRTOOLS it give me menus... now I want step by step configuration follow that menu...

I just want oracle backup save in my D drive online backup at 6:00am everyday all oracle full backup for-example

Sept 01, 2009 first backup start at 6:00am in D drive file name backup-09-01-2009

Sept 02, 2009 2nd backup start at 6:00am in D drive file name backup-09-02-2009

Sept 03, 2009 3rd backup start at 6:00am in D drive file name backup-09-03-2009

and Sept 04, 2009 first backup file replace to Sept 04 2009 so I can keep 2 days backup

Backup you can schedule from BRTOOLS or Directly from SAP system ( DB13).

If you want to take regular backup on disk you can change few parameters in your initSID.sap file.

you can get your initSID.sap file in Oracle_Home/database directory. In that file you have to change,

backup_device_type and backup_stage directory..

Check the link below for initSID.sap file configuration

Then schedule backup frm DB13 or you can directly run backup by running command from OS level.

Now if you want to schedule from OS level, create a batch ( with .bat extension) file which will hold the command and then you can use Windows "Scheduled Task" ...( check in control panel section).

Deletion of old backup can also be handled by Windows Scheduled task or script. ( hint you can use DOS command "XCOPY" and "DELETE")

in my last post I was talking about a link, but unfortunately forgot to paste that link..sorry for that..please find the link below.

if you do not need a offline backup you can change it to online backup...[again from your initSID.sap file, backup_type]

in this file you will find lots of parameters and meaning of most of them you can make out from the file itself.

For more information about these parameter you can look at the link below

Please check the settings of the file init<DBSID>.sap holds configuration parameters for administration tools BR*Tools.

It is usually stored in directory $ORACLE_HOME/dbs (UNIX) or %ORACLE_HOME%\database(Windows).

Please set the setting in the file and you shall able to start the backup.

Thanks
