Configuring DBA-initiated job settings for SAP

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.

Note the following about DBA-initiated jobs:

  • DBA-initiated jobs fail when the related job template is deleted. To stop DBA-initiated jobs from running, delete the related DBA-initiated job template.

  • All DBA-initiated backup and restore jobs are deleted after the jobs are complete.

  • You cannot set minimum device requirements for DBA-initiated jobs.
