Configuring Backint
To configure Veeam Backint to process SAP MaxDB commands, you must create the following files:
Creating Parameter File for the SAP MaxDB Adapter Program
With the Parameter File for the SAP MaxDB Adapter Program, you create a connection between SapMaxDBBackintConfigTool provided by Veeam and Backint for SAP MaxDB. To learn more, see SAP MaxDB documentation.
To create parameter file, do the following:
- To create the parameter file in the directory where the database is installed, run the following command:
touch /<path>/adapter_config.par |
where <path> is a path to the SAP MaxDB database.
For example:
touch /sapdb/MAXDB1/data/wrk/MAXDB1/adapter_config.par |
- For the correct Veeam Plug-In functioning, the parameter file must contain the following parameters:
- STAGING AREA: an absolute path and size of a temporary file.
- FILES PER BACKINT CALL: a maximum number of temporary files to be processed by Veeam Backint concurrently.
- HISTORY FILE: an absolute path and name of the backup history.
- INPUTFILE FOR BACKINT: an absolute path and name of the standard input file.
- OUTPUTFILE FOR BACKINT: an absolute path and name of the standard output file.
- ERRORFILE FOR BACKINT: an absolute path and name of the standard error output file.
- BACKINT: an absolute path and name of Veeam Backint.
To learn about other parameters that can be added to the file, see SAP MaxDB documentation.
For example:
STAGING AREA: /tmp/MAXDB1/stage1 5 GB |
