On the other hand, they tested it with Omniback 4.1 and to qoute: "However it will work with Omniback 4.1 also". So if you need a supported solution, Data Protector 5.0 or 5.1 is the only way to go. Otherwise 4.1 should be sufficient. Best Regards, Tilo Heinrich SAP Labs Berlin -----Original Message----- From: Shepherd, Gary P.

The Omniback Admin is telling me that this may not work with our current version of Omniback ( 4.1 ). He states that we need to upgrade to the latest Omniback version( 5.0 ). Do you know if this is true?

This file must be described by the supplier of Backint for Oracle. As far as I know no such file is used with Omniback. > b. What needs to be in the parameter file > backint?? The format of the parameter file of Backint for SAP DB is described under http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/htmhelp/91/24b97d483411d5992500508b6b8b11/frameset. htm . >2 and 3 could be reversed, ( i.e., the bsi.env file could be for Oracle. > >At this point I'm confused, if someone could exactly specify what needs to >be done Please read the documentation mentioned above. >I would appreciate it. i.e., what the dbmgui fields should contain, You have to create a backup medium, whose name starts with BACK, whose type is PIPE und whose location is something like \\.\pipe\<name> on Windows or something like /tmp/<name> on UNIX. >what exactly needs to be in the bsi.env file and what to name the other >configuration file and what it contains. >I don't have a naming convention, so if all the files need to be named >something specific.
