How the Backup Option Integration Module Works

The Enterprise Option for SAP R/3 for Oracle application is used to store its data in Oracle databases. The backup option integration module is the option interface for Oracle databases. The backup option integration module links Arcserve Backup to SAPDBA or BR* Tools. The SAPDBA and BR* Tools modules handle the activity within your database, and the backup option integration module handles the mechanics of data transfer.

For the option to be able to use SAPDBA or BR* Tools, the SAP R/3 application must be running. When SAPDBA or BR* Tools start jobs, the backup option integration module is invoked automatically. When the backup option integration module is invoked, it handles the backup, restore, and inquiry requests.

The following diagram illustrates the sequence and process of these operations:
