To restore the Oracle database and control file from a secondary copy using the RMAN command line:
If applicable, restore the control file from autobackup using a secondary copy (otherwise skip to Step 2). To do this, run the script below from the RMAN command line:
run {
allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape'
PARMS="ENV=(CV_restCopyPrec=1)" TRACE 0;
allocate channel ch2 type 'sbt_tape'
PARMS="ENV=(CV_restCopyPrec=2)" TRACE 0;
restore controlfile from autobackup ;
}
Run the script below from the RMAN command line to restore the Oracle database from a secondary copy:
To restore the SAP database from a secondary copy using the SAP command line:
Edit the parameter file for the SAP for Oracle iDataAgent
or SAP for MAXDB iDataAgent to include the following two parameter lines:
CV_restCopyPrec
2
For SAP for Oracle on Unix, include the above lines in the
initCER.utl file
located under the dbs directory.
For SAP for Oracle on Windows, create a parameter file to include the above
lines then execute brrestore with option
–r.
For SAP for MAXDB on Unix, include the above lines in the parameter file
located under the $<software install folder>\SapMaxDbAgent
directory.
For SAP for MAXDB on Windows, include the above lines in the parameter file
located in the same directory as BSI_ENV. To determine the directory where
BSI_ENV resides, open the
test1.cfg file located in the install directory
then find the PATH for BSI_ENV (for example:
D:\MaxDB\sdb\test1\files\backint.conf).
After editing the parameter file as described in Step 1, execute a restore from the SAP command line, and the data will be restored from a secondary copy.

Create a text file with the following name under
<Software_Installation_Directory>\Base
folder.
<StoragePolicyName>_<CopyName>_Jobs.txt
In the text file specify JobID and CommCellID in
the following format:
Syntax
JobID, CommCellID
Where
JobID - The job id of the jobs for which you are
setting up the priority
CommCellID - The CommCell ID of the CommServe. The value of
this parameter is 2.
Note that this value is not the same as
the CommCell ID value in the License Administration
dialog box
For example:
If 8287,
8288, 8289,
8290 jobs are available on primary
copy then specify the jobs in the following format:
8288, 2 8290, 2
Perform the Auxiliary Copy operation on the Storage Policy that
is specified in the text file name.
Once the Auxiliary Copy operation is run, the jobs specified in
the text file (e.g., 8288 and
8290) will be copied first and then the other jobs will be
copied. Jobs may not necessarily be copied in the exact order as in
the text file but will be copied before other jobs that are not
listed in the text file.
During this process, if Auxiliary Copy
job goes into Waiting/Suspended/Pending
state (e.g., if the job is interrupted by Job Manager or
suspended by the user), then the priority of the jobs using
text file will not be considered
when the Auxiliary Copy job is resumed. It will copy all the
jobs sequentially to secondary storage.
