## Examples

::: example
### Modifying SAP HANA Backup Settings for Application Backup Policy

This example shows how to modify the number of data processing channels that can be assigned to the `Plugin Policy 05` application backup policy.

```
$policy = Get-VBRApplicationBackupJob -Name "Plugin Policy 05"
$hana_options = New-VBRSAPHANAOptions -ParallelChannelsCount 5
Set-VBRApplicationBackupJob -Job $policy -SAPHANAOptions $hana_options
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRApplicationBackupJob`](get-vbrapplicationbackupjob.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$policy` variable.
2. Run the [`New-VBRSAPHANAOptions`](new-vbrsaphanaoptions.md) cmdlet. Specify the `ParallelChannelsCount` parameter value. Save the result to the `$hana_options` variable.
3. Run the `Set-VBRApplicationBackupJob` cmdlet. Set the `$policy` variable as the `Job` parameter value. Set the `$hana_options` variable as the `SAPHANAOptions` parameter value.
