BRRECOVER
The BRRECOVER tool calls BRRESTORE to restore the data and log files and then per-
forms the recovery steps to get the database to a consistent status. One detailed real-life
BRRESTORE and BRRECOVERY scenario will be covered in this chapter. Based on this,
you can plan and execute a recovery when needed at your organization.
BRBACKUP Configuration
Before using the BRBACKUP tool, some basic configuration has to be performed. This is
done in the initialization parameter file for BRTOOLS called init<SID>.sap. You can find
the file in the /oracle/<SID>/102_64/dbs directory. For example, in a SAP system with SID
KB2, the initialization parameter file initKB2.sap for BRTOOLS is located at /oracle/ KB2/
102_64/dbs.
Figure 21-1
shows an example of the initialization file for BRTOOLS
(initKB2_weekly.sap) that is configured for a weekly full, online backup to disk with the
backups written to /oracle/KB2/sapbackup/weekly. You can change the parameter values to
meet your requirements. When a new SAP system is installed, a sample parameter file is de-
livered, along with different parameters and detailed options. This file can be customized to
meet the customer's specific requirements.
