We want import our Oracle 8i database into SAPDB and then access it via
JDBC.� The two files we have are called JspExplorer_data01.dbf and
JSPEXPLORER_idx01.dbf.� Both files are 52,436,992 bytes, and they are
binary files.� Oracle is not available to us any more. Seems like backint
is the tool to use (present in /opt/sapdb/depend/bin/backint).
$ /opt/sapdb/depend/bin/backint --help
usage: /opt/sapdb/depend/bin/backint -u <user_id> [-f <function>] [-t
<type>]
[-p <par_file>] [-i <in_file>] [-o <out_file>] [-c]
parameters can be:
<user_id> : char(16)
<function>: backup|restore|inquire|delete
<type> : file
<par_file>: char(255)
<in_file> : char(255)
<out_file>: char(255)
$ /opt/sapdb/depend/bin/backint -u sapdb -f inquire -i
/home/gblake/JspExplorer_data01.dbf
Reading parameter file .
No staging area is defined in the parameter file.
The path of Backint for Oracle is not defined in the parameter file.
The name of the history file is not defined in the parameter file.
The name of the input file of Backint for Oracle is not defined in the
parameter file.
The name of the output file of Backint for Oracle is not defined in the
parameter file.
The name of the error output file of Backint for Oracle is not defined in
the parameter file.
I found a posting in German (which I could not read -
http://listserv.sap.com/pipermail/sapdb.general/2002-June/012421.html)
discussing a file called bsi.env, which I fiddled with, knowing that I was
completely ignorant:
BACKINT /opt/sapdb/depend/bin/backint/opt/sapdb/depend/bin/backint
INPUT /home/gblake/JspExplorer_data01.dbf
OUTPUT /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/backint/JspExplorer.out
ERROROUTPUT /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/backint/Backint4Oracle.err
PARAMETERFILE /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/backint/backint.par
TIMEOUT_SUCCESS 600
TIMEOUT_FAILURE 300
ORIGINAL_RUNDIRECTORY /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/backint
As far as I can tell, /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/backint/backint.par should
look something like:
STAGING AREA: /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/backint/STAGE1 1 GB
STAGING AREA: /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/backint/STAGE2 1024 MB
FILES PER BACKINT CALL: 2
BACKINT: /opt/sapdb/depend/bin/backint
PARAMETERFILE OF BACKINT: /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/backint/backintparam.utl
HISTORY FILE: /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/backint/BackintHistory
INPUTFILE FOR BACKINT: /home/gblake/JspExplorer_data01.dbf
OUTPUTFILE FOR BACKINT: /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/backint/JspExplorer.out
ERRORFILE FOR BACKINT: /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/backint/Backint4Oracle.err
MAXIMAL DELAY OF BACKINT CALL: 30
I wonder how far off the mark I am? Is this possible?
