When configured in this way, the adapter program can write or read in or from a maximum number of four pipes concurrently. The temporary files created can be one gigabyte in size, providing that the end of the pipe is not reached.

FILES PER BACKINT CALL:

2

As soon as two of the four temporary files have been completely created, they are saved by calling the Backint for Oracle program.

BACKINT:

"C:\Program Files\BackupTool\BIN\backint.exe"

The absolute path of the Backint for Oracle program is: "C:\Program Files\BackupTool\BIN\backint.exe"

If the path contains a space, place double quotation marks around the space.

PARAMETERFILE OF BACKINT:

C:\BackupTool\CONF\backint oraconfig.utl

The absolute path of the configuration file for the Backint for Oracle program is: C:\BackupTool\CONF\backintoraconfig.utl.

HISTORY FILE:

C:\SAPDB\BackintHistory

The adapter program stores the backup history at the completion of each backup under the path C:\SAPDB\BackintHistory and saves the history by calling the Backint for Oracle program again.

INPUTFILE FOR BACKINT:

C:\TEMP\backint4Oracle.in

Standard input for Backint for Oracle: C:\TEMP\backint4Oracle.in

OUTPUTFILE FOR BACKINT:

C:\TEMP\backint4Oracle.out

Standard output for Backint for Oracle: C:\TEMP\backint4Oracle.out

ERRORFILE FOR BACKINT:

C:\TEMP\backint4Oracle.err

Standard error output for Backint for Oracle: C:\TEMP\backint4Oracle.err

MAXIMAL DELAY OF BACKINT CALL:

30

If the temporary files are created at different speeds and one temporary file is already complete, the adapter program waits a maximum of 30 seconds for one of the temporary files to be fully created. If none of the other files is completed within 30 seconds, the existing temporary file is backed up using Backint for Oracle.
