SAP Binaries Backup online or offline

Hello!
I woulld like to know, how to execute the regular SAP OS backup and have the following questions regarding this issue:
1) How often should I backup the SAP-Binaries-partition \usr\sap\...?
(daily, weekly, 1 times month)
2) Should the DB, SAP R/3 or some Services be stopped for this issue?
Do exist some file-locks avoiding offline backup of \usr\sap\... ?
3) What should be backuped from \usr\sap\...?
(trans, profiles)
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Hi Thom,
1). It's totally depend's on your system avilability(because you need to make the system offline), rest may be you can take OS level backup once in a month(standard practice with all the data centers).
2). Yes you better stop DB services and SAPOSCOL.
3). You can backup total dir structure and you better create one Emergency Repair Disk(ERD) in case of windows.
Regards,
Hari.

    Hi Gurprit,
    A null value is being passed at runtime. Make sure that you enter values when filling in the form.
    Also check for the cardinality of the nodes being used. You can also initiliaze your value attributes as follows:
    In wdDoInit() method:
    wdContext.currentNodeAElement.setValueA("");
    Context is as follows:
    RootNode
      |____NodeA
            |_____ValueA
    Hope it helps.

  • Best option for testing the Restore of an Backup Online with Legato

    In my company is needed to test of Restore of an Backup Online with Legato of my Production System in a server available for test with the same operating system Windows 2000 Server, the same version of SAP R/3 4.6B and database Oracle 8.1.7.4.1, but the SID is different.
    My question as is the best way to make this procedure? It will need to return to install sap with the same SID of production ??? or a way exists to change the SID and next to restore the backup online.
    I like to know me the best one practice that they can recommend to me for these cases.
    Thanks to all

  • How to implement XI interfaces in online and offline modes?

    Hi Everybody,
    Can you please tell me how to implement XI interfaces in online and offline modes?
    thanks a lot,
    Ramya Shenoy.

    Hi,
    Are you looking for Push and Pull mechanism of PI?
    When the adapters like SOAP, HTTP, IDOC, etc. send the data to PI , it is nothing but a push mechanism, and hence the communication is synchronous by default.
    But adapters like JDBC, File, etc. they fetch the data from Source Applications, so it is a kind of Pull mechanism for PI, and
    by default communication is asynchrnous.
    Pls elaborate exactly what are you looking for?
    Regards,

  • Homogeneous system copy on windows abap + java with a backup online

    Hello gurus, I need to perform a refresh (HSC) from our production to our test system. we have a daily backup online that I want to use for restoring the test system .
    from the procedure it's not clear how to proceed .
    as my point of view i should say :
    1) perform a restore redirect using backup online
    2) export on the production the java side using database specific tools
    3) import the java side on the restored database (when it stops to ask me to restore database i will use the backup created by the export procedure)
    4) apply all the logs to the end of export of java to put the database in a consistente state
    5) finish the procedure of import
    my question marks are related to the step 2) and 3) . the restored database will keep the data of java side from the second backup (export) run by sapinst?
    and.. do I have to apply logs till the export is finished to put db in a consistente state?
    someone of you have performed it once ?
    any advice is greatly apprechated

    Hello guys,so just to be clear again
    on the target system I have to execute
    db2 drop database <SID>  and following delete the content of sapdata?
    I have seen on this website the possibility to execute the redirect restore using the comman "replace existing" . Can I apply this without deleting anything ?
    ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/db2/info/vr9/pdf/letter/en_US/db2hae90.pdf
    REPLACE EXISTING If a database with the same alias as the target database alias already exists, this parameter specifies that the restore utility is to replace the existing database with the restored database. This is useful for scripts that invoke the restore utility, because the command line processor will not prompt the user to verify deletion of an existing database.
    For the java side , once the the restore redirect has been performed successful  do I have to use the option for recreating the WAS AS JAVA  only as system copy only? This will populate my java side correctly with the data of my exporting system?
    best regards

  • Wut mean by online and offline option in OBIEE Administration?

    Hello Dears ,
    any one cane told the difference of online and offline option to open a repository in oracle BI Administration?
    Regards
    shakeel khan

    OBIEE Administration can be done in two modes
    1) Offline
    2) Online
    Offline: Where most of the developement work is done and repository is not loaded in to the server
    Online: Repository is loaded in to server and few modifications are done.
    When the services are started( Bi Server and Presentation Server) the repository is loaded in to the server and when try to open the repository in Offline mode it open in Read only mode.

  • AE 12.2 - online or offline updates?

    Just updated adobe applications, not sure after effects was even one of them but hey, and my workspaces have disappeared.
    Ae says it's version 12.2.1.5
    I'm aware they're about to update, but I'm not keen on downloading that until bug roll outs come into force.
    C:\Users\ME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\12.2\ModifiedWorkspaces
    I have two modified workspaces in here, xml files, yet in AE I only have the standard options, with new, delete and reset at the bottom.
    Is this to do with sync settings and being online or offline? What do I need to do to get these back.. I'm sure those two workspaces are what I need, they just aren't loaded in at all?
    I  have re opened a few times.
    Thanks all.

    Any one have any hints on this?
    I can see where my account is connected to now but don't know where it would have been kept or connected to before..
    I just find this a bit confusing. Any light on this would be great.

  • SAP B1 Backup problem

    Dear All
    Recently, we've setup a new server for our customers. however, i found that backup percedure is not working at all.
    We have 3 company databases, "egis_data", "LTT_data", and "TEST_DATA". When SAP B1 backup tool runs, it works well on first 2 company databases, but not third one ("TEST_DATA"). Even, I take off "egis_data" and "LTT_data" from backup list, I still can't backup TEST_DATA.
    Please let me know if there is any solution about this problem.
    Best Regards,
    Rocky Yao

    Hi
    If you add a new database the backup works for the new database?
    Can you try to shrink the 'TEST_DATA' database to see if you can backup if after that?

  • Itunes won't play on computer when online only offline

    I have 2 computers- I downloaded the Itunes program on both of them yesterday. On computer A I purchased 2 songs and played them yesterday without problems (online and offline). I copied them onto a flash drive and moved them onto comptuer B and it played fine. This morning while using computer A & connected online, my newly purchased Itune songs would not play (completely skipped the songs- although they were checked). I was logged on to Itunes and the computer was authorized (I was also logged off on computer B). As for being authorized it said I was successful in authorizing 2 computers out of 5 that I'm allowed. So I recently got off line and and the songs play just fine. Why? And how can I correct this?

    Hi,

  • How recognize if you are working online or offline

    How an application programmatically find if it is working online
    (you started from the browser so you have a connection for sure)
    or if you are working offline(started from the local webstart center)?
    best regards
    AT

    There is no way to really tell if you are online of offline. you can try the api: BasicService.isOffline(),
    but this will allways return false unless you set the Application Manager to offline mode, and then
    launch the app from there. Then it will run javaws -offline ... which will return true from isOffline().

    You cannot lock or find the device until it comes online. You can schedule a lock sequence to be sent once the device is online. That's it. Furthermore, if whoever finds the device completely erases it, then even when it comes online you will not be able to track it.

    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device.
