Does SAP support incremental/delta backups? if so which note describes it

I'm just about to test incremental/delta backups on udb 9.5 fp1. Now to my question:
Does SAP support incrmental/delta backups?
Is there a note, I couldnt get a hit on OSS
Are there any gotcha's? such as do I need to move read only tables to a new talbespace?
Any info on this is greatly appreciated.
Anke

Hi Anke,
You can specify whether you want to perform a full, incremental or incremental delta backup and the frequency via DB13 or the planning calender in DBACOCKPIT.
SAP Note 1269697 DB6: Backup Performance
should be of use to you and please also see our administration guide available at our main page
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/db6 under Administration. Specifically check the guide
"Data Recovery and High Availability Guide and Reference" mentioned in Chapter 8.3.5 Advanced Backup Techniques
There is not a specific SAP note relating to incremental/delta backups but they can be scheduled via DB13 and so, they are supported.
Regards,
Paul

Fetching SAP Objects metadata

Hi all my dear friends,
I am new in SAP.
I am in progress to design SAP connector using JCO library.
I have issue while fetching SAP Objects metadata..
Current i m fetching all BAPIs using RFC_FUNCTION_SEARCH from JCO
But i dont want to fetch BAPIs.
Is there any way to fetch business objects like Material, sales order, purchase order etc. using JCO
Please let me know. if you have information.

You are welcome Rajendra. Yes, I got your requirement and gave you already the right answer. You need to create an appropriate service on your backend or consume a given one (REST e.g.?), e.g. for providing material information. Use that one in your Java application, thats it. JCo is a technology helping you on connecting to backends, its not providing stack specific functionality as far I know. You need strong ABAP and Java know-how on developing to do this task, if you dont have it: you are the wrong guy for this job. If you are interested in learning: do a search, there are numerous how-to's, documentation on SAP Help etc regarding this topics. Im talking about stuff like:

I have a folder "_Serato_" that I need to make actual 100% backups every time I alter the folder (not incremental backups). Is there a way to do this with Time Machine?

The title says most of it. I have a problem with the software and I need to create real 100% backups each time I alter that folder. I just had an incident where my _Serato_ foldercrapped out on me again and I was excited that my Time Capsule backup would restore what I did from last night. BUT, when I restored from that backup and loaded the Serato Scratch Live program, it only showed the new work and not the old saved work.
I am not trying to get Serato help here, I am asking how to tell Time Machine to always make an exact copy of my "_Serato_" folder everytime it backs up. Is that possible? Currelty I do this my self by duplicating the folder, but it would be amazing if Time Machine could handle this.
Please let me know,

Sorry, but Time Machine cannot do this.

How to find out which archived logs needed to recover a hot backup?

I'm using Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0).
I have backed up a database when it is online using the following backup script through RMAN
connect target /
run {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup
incremental level=0 cumulative
filesperset 4
format '/san/u01/app/backup/DB_%d_%T_%u_%c.rman'
database
}The backup set contains the backup of datafiles and control file. I have copied all the backup pieces to another server where I will restore/recover the database but I don't know which archived logs are needed in order to restore/recover the database to a consistent state.
I have not deleted any archived log.
How can I find out which archived logs are needed to recover the hot backup to a consistent state? Can this be done by querying V$BACKUP_DATAFILE and V$ARCHIVED_LOG? If yes, which columns should I query?
Thanks for any help.

A few ways :
1a. Get the timestamps when the BACKUP ... DATABASE began and ended.
1b. Review the alert.log of the database that was backed up.
1c. From the alert.log identify the first Archivelog that was generated after the begin of the BACKUP ... DATABASE and the first Archivelog that was generated after the end of the BACKUP .. DATABASE.
1d. These (from 1c) are the minimal Archivelogs that you need to RECOVER with. You can choose to apply additional Archivelogs that were generated at the source database to contininue to "roll-forward"
2a. Do a RESTORE DATABASE alone.
2b. Query V$DATAFILE on the restored database for the lowest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# and CHECKPOINT_TIME. Also query for the highest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# and CHECKPOINT_TIME.
2c. Go back to the source database and query V$ARCHIVED_LOG (FIRST_CHANGE#) to identify the first Archivelog that has a higher SCN (FIRST_CHANGE#) than the lowest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# from 2b above. Also query for the first Archivelog that has a higher SCN (FIRST_CHANGE#) than the highest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# from 2b above.
2d. These (from 2c) are the minimal Archivelogs that you need to RECOVER with.
(why do you need to query V$ARCHIVED_LOG at the source ? If RESTORE a controlfile backup that was generated after the first Archivelog switch after the end of the BACKUP ... DATABASE, you would be able to query V$ARCHIVED_LOG at the restored database as well. That is why it is important to force an archivelog (log switch) after a BACKUP ... DATABASE and then backup the controlfile after this -- i.e. last. That way, the controlfile that you have restored to the new server has all the information needed).
3. RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW in RMAN if you have the archivelogs and subsequent controlfile in the backup itself !

Need a shell script to backup archive log daily

Hi All,
We need a shell script to backup the archive logs daily after shutting down the concurrent manager and once the backup is completed, needs to start the concurrent manager through the script itself, if you have any ideas or sample scripts, please provide and help us.
The objective is to backup the daily archive logs with out any loss of data.
Thanks,

I do not have a similar script to share, sorry. However, you may review the following links/notes:

Restore one full backup(need to move), 1 differential backup,2 transaction log backup

Is following script correct? I don't need to add "move" when do restore differential, log later. Correct?
RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks FROM DISK = 'C:\AdventureWorks.BAK'
WITH
MOVE
'Adventureworks_DB'
TO
'C:\test\Adventureworks.mdf',
MOVE
'AdventureWorks_Log'
TO
'C:\Adventureworks_Log.ldf',
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks FROM DISK = 'C:\AdventureWorks.DIF'
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG AdventureWorks FROM DISK = 'C:\AdventureWorks.TRN'
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG AdventureWorks FROM DISK = 'C:\AdventureWorks2.TRN'
WITH RECOVERY
GO

Yes, that would be fine. It will work without move filename as well. You can add replace parameter incase.
Also, make sure to check the mentioned path they must exist and SQL is able to access
Before running the restore run below to check the backup file path:
Corrected the script with needed only once in full backup restore
Restore filelistonly from disk= 'C:\AdventureWorks.BAK'
RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks FROM DISK = 'C:\AdventureWorks.BAK'
WITH MOVE'Adventureworks_DB'TO'C:\test\Adventureworks.mdf',
MOVE'AdventureWorks_Log'TO'C:\Adventureworks_Log.ldf',
NORECOVERY, replace
GO
RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks FROM DISK = 'C:\AdventureWorks.DIF'
WITH NORECOVERY, replace
GO
RESTORE LOG AdventureWorks FROM DISK = 'C:\AdventureWorks.TRN'
WITH NORECOVERY, replace
GO
RESTORE LOG AdventureWorks FROM DISK = 'C:\AdventureWorks2.TRN'
WITH RECOVERY, replace
GO

I am trying to update my phone to ios 8 from my itunes but it keeps saying I need to delete my last backup but there is no option to do that?

Should spend more time looking into this things....how have people time for this? I mean, I dont even have time to go to the shops and pick up my 4S upgrade!!
Thanks so much for your help

SAP Note 378648 - Offline backup support with Oracle Fail Save

I am trying to implement SAP Note 378648 - Offline backup support with Oracle Fail Save, but am unsure about part of the solution....
Basically, I have to add several parameters into the Environment Variables of the MS Clustered Servers running Windows Server 2003 for the user xidadm...
Fairly straight forward apart from one parameter....
BR_OFS_DOMAIN=<domain>
I am unsure what is required/meant by domain. Can anyone shed some light??

Those are environment variables of the Windows user who is running brbackup; usually this is SAPService<SID>.
You have to set this variables the same way as you set ORACLE_HOME and so on.
(I am not sure about the details; never worked with MS cluster.)
hope this helps

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so. Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards. I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me. that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer. I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

In the stupidly hidden user's Library->/Application Support/AddressBook/ labeled as AddressBook-v22.abcddb
For TM restores, see Pondini's TM FAQs for starters, since I don't use TM.

Need SAP GUI for Mac and process of how to install and configure

Hi Experts,
     I need SAP GUI for Mac. Also please explain the process of how to install, how to configure etc? Please help me.

You can download the SAP Presentation DVD that will have the SAPGUI Java version for OS X. After you install, just run the app from the Application Folder.
For config there are a few options:
1. To connect to a DI directly. After starting the app, click new and under the "Advanced" tab use the following string:
   conn=/H/(hostname)/S/(port / 3200 for instance ID 00)
2. To connect to a login group. After starting the app, open the "Preferences" / Configuration / Messageservers, you need to set a path to a file that has the message servers in the following string
(SID) :     /M/(hostname)/S/(message server port)
Then click "New" and on the first tab you can choose a system and login group.
Hope this helps.
Thank
matt
