BR*Tools Example: BACKINT Interface

BACKINT uses the SAP BR*Tools to communicate with the SAP on Oracle database and perform backup and restore operations. You can inquire about backup requests and execute them.

Before You Begin

1. Edit the init<SID>.utl file and add the parameters.

   CvInstanceName
   Instance001
   CvClientName
   client1

2. Optional: To have the CommCell Console authenticate the job, configure the parameters for CommCell Console third-party job authentication.
