Figure 42 SAP R/3 ZDB session flow (BRBACKUP started on the
application system)
1. The SAP R/3 backup specification is read and the Data Protector omnisap.exe
program is started on the application system.
2. Omnisap.exe starts BRBACKUP, which switches the database to the backup
mode (online backup) or shuts down the database (offline backup), and starts
the split command on the application system, with the list of files to be included
in the replica creation.
The database is put out of the backup mode (online backup) or is restarted
(offline backup) after the replica is created.
NOTE:
Data Protector can use the splitint interface (if BRTOOLS supports it)
to reduce the time during which the database is in the backup mode.
