RMAN for SAP BRTOOLS

Important point needs to be consider while configuring RMAN for SAP BRTOOLS.

I had to configure RMAN for taking incremental backup of our SAP database by using RMAN.
Here i have mentioned point which helped me to connect BRTOOLS to RMAN.


create following link first after installing TSM service at OS host

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
ln -s /usr/tivoli/tsm/tdp_r3/ora64/libtdp_r3. /usr/lib/libobk.
ln -s /usr/lib/libobk.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so


Mentione device type as for taking backup through RMAN
backup_dev_type=rman_util

Set rman_parms to identify brtools for TSM parameters.

rman_parms="ENV=(XINT_PROFILE=/init.utl,PROLE_PORT=,&BR_INFO)"

Locate the appropriate ProLE port number in the /etc/services file. Look
for port name tdpr3ora64

Below parameters also need to set in initsid.sap parameter file

saveset_members = 1
rman_channels = 6 : This parameter defines the number of parallel channels used by RMAN with an external backup library, that is, backup_dev_type = rman_util
rman_filesperset = 8

Make sure /usr/lib is specified in the library path environment of your
system.
