Re: Brtools, brbackup, brrestore

First, The BR*Tools must be installed on the database server. They only run from there.

So now, how do you "call" them?

 

If you have an SAP instance on the Database Server, there is no problem as you have then the Linux Kernel there. You only need to install the Linux BR*Tools.

i cannot even take backups from DB host because //sapmnt contains windows .exe file like brtools.exe.

 

this comment seems to point that you have nothing on the database server.

If that is the case you have two options

1) install the Linux BR*Tools there and configure SAP to use remote shell to call them.

2) install an SAP Gateway on the database server. Then you have an SAP kernel there and you can install the Linux BR*Tools there.

You already have been provided with the note 1974030

The note focus on the point 1) and it says that it does not work for windows.

It does, the only problem is that in older windows versions you need a 3rd party remote shell but seems that newer ones have one (How to enable Windows Remote Shell</title> <!-- integration code for PDF --> <link href="//az6…) I cannot give details about it as I only work with real operating systems.

in any case, check the note 446172, but if you do not install the BR*tools on the database server DB13 will never work
