Configure SAP Using the Configuration Script

The SAP configuration setup script lets you configure the option on SAP servers.

To configure SAP using the configuration setup script

1. Enter the following command in the option home directory:

   ./sapsetup
   

2. To select the default home directory for the option, press Enter. The default directory is:

   /opt/Arcserve/ABsapagt
   

   To enter a directory other than the default, enter the directory path and press Enter.

3. Indicate whether Oracle and the option are installed on the same machine.

   Is ORACLE installed on this machine? (y/n)
   

   If Oracle and the option are installed on the same machine, enter y.

4. Enter the Oracle home directory path. Press Enter to use the default Oracle home directory. The default directory is:

   /opt/oracle
   

   To enter a directory other than the default, type the directory path and press Enter.

5. Enter the Oracle SID. To select the default, press Enter. The default ID is:

   SAPID

   To enter an SID other than the default, type the alternate SID and press Enter.

6. Enter the SAP home directory. To select the default directory press Enter. The default directory is:

   /usr/sap
   

   To enter a directory other than the default, type the directory path and press Enter.

7. The script asks you if you want to run the pfilesetup script now.

   Do one of the following:

   Note: You can run pfilesetup later if you want to create different utility parameter files. If you want to run the pfilesetup script later, type n.

   • Type y

     The configuration script (sapsetup) calls the utility parameter file setup script (pfilesetup). The pfilesetup script configures the utility parameter file needed by ABbaim.

     The following is an example of the entries in pfilesetup:

     HOST =<server where Arcserve Backup is installed>
     USERNAME=<name of a user who has access to the SAP/Oracle files on the client node>
     PASSWORD=<password of that user>
     DESTGROUP=<Arcserve Backup device group>
     DESTTAPE=<tape name>
     MEDIAPOOL=<media pool name>
     

   • Type n

The setup is complete.

Note: The next step is to edit the backup and restore configuration profiles.
