Chapter 22: SAP HANA

Use the Catalogic DPX Plug-in for SAP HANA allows you to seamlessly integrate Catalogic DPX with SAP HANA. The use of Catalogic DPX with SAP HANA allows you to maintain existing backup strategies through SAP HANA Studio while minimizing some impacts on the Catalogic DPX performance.

The SAP HANA database administrator uses SAP HANA Studio to back up SAP HANA databases. The Catalogic DPX Master Server user interface may be used to monitor backup or restore jobs but should never be used to initiate backup or restore jobs. Using Catalogic DPX for SAP backups is essentially transparent from the standpoint of the database administrator. The administrator simply starts the backup as he or she normally would in Studio. The Catalogic DPX Plug-in for SAP HANA tells Catalogic DPX to back up the files specified by SAP HANA Studio.

The Catalogic DPX Plug-in for SAP HANA is easily installed and configured on the SAP HANA system using a script named dpxhdbinst that is located in the /opt/DPX/misc/ directory. This script is available in that location after the Catalogic DPX Client is installed on the SAP HANA system.
