Dears,

We are using Content Server with MaxDB database.As we know in SAP with Oracle database we have brtools to configure backup to take it automatically on a regular basis.

So now my issue in the same way we need to configure backup for my Content server that is installed with MaxDB database,Please suggest how can it be done.

As on Marketplace we found content server for MaxDb database only,Can it be installed on Oracle also.

Please suggest.

Hi,

The default database for content server is MaxDB. One cannot have Oracle as database for CS.

For backup you can use IBM Tivoli or Symantech backup. In one of our projects we used Symantech and is working well.

Anirudh,

MAX DB admin tools provide backup functions. You can do it from the GUI or from a command line. We backup content servers in several locations, by doing incrementals 4 times a day. The increamental files are copied to our headquarters and imported to a backup database. In the event a remote site's content server fails, we can bring the backup on line in just a few minutes. Note, if you do this you start a chain of events that you have to deal with in order to get the remote site back to it's state of the primary data. But it works for us. The backup database (stays in admin state) can have restores and backups run on it and be ready for use. We back it up, fully every night and carry that backup off site. This backup is also restored to our Test system when we do a PRD to Test copy of the SAP DB. So we backup all content servers 4 times a day and restore those backups to backup database on headquarters backup servers. The backups are small enough, happening every couple of hours during the work day, that we can move them across the WAN without problems.

dbmcli_commands.pdf had all the command line info in it. I am not sure where our DBA got that file from but all of our batch schedules of backups is based from commands described in that manual.
