Zero Downtime Backup of MaxDB database with HP Data Protector

Compiling scripts

This section explains how to compile various scripts to regulate MaxDB’s logwriter process. Six files

are needed: three cmd and three txt files.

Place all script files on the application server in the <Data_Protector_Home>/bin directory, for

example, C:\Program Files\OmniBack\bin.

The following information and credentials hold true for the test environment used:

MaxDB Instance Version = 7.6.06.03

MaxDB DBM GUI Version = 7.6.03.10

MaxDB dbmcli Version = 7.6.6.0

MaxDB Backup Server Version = Win2003 SP2

MaxDB Appl. Server Version = Win2003 SP2

Data Protector Version = A0.06.10

qgrep Version = 5.2.3790.0

MaxDB data path = C:\lab\sdb\data

MaxDB independent program path = C:\lab\sdb\programs

MaxDB dependent path = C:\lab\sdb\7600

MaxDB Run Directory = C:\Lab\sdb\data\wrk\MAXDB

EVA = 5000

Firmaware = 4100

Command View = 7.00.01

MaxDB Instance Name = MAXDB

DBM Administrator = DBADMIN

DBM Administrator Password = maxdb

Note:

You will need a grep-like utility called qgrep installed on the appli

cation

server. The utility can help you find lines specific to an expression, allowing

you to get information on the files you want.
