When you create a DBA-initiated backup operation, you can specify the default job template in Backup Exec, or specify a new job template that you create in Backup Exec. The job template contains the settings that Backup Exec applies to DBA-initiated jobs.
Make sure that the name of the job template that you want to use is configured in the biparam.ini file.
See Configuring biparam.ini for the SAP Agent.
