Question for anyone using SAP Integration backups in Data Protector.
We have been using these backups for years but have had issues with the backup sessions creating a complete restore set. So all of our backups are setup to backup the database and the archive logs. However, when we try to restore a backup the archive logs captured during the backup session is always one log short when we try to recover the Oracle database.
How are others handling this situation? I have been working on a post-exec script that runs at the end of the backup. The script kicks off a couple of log switches in Oracle and then executes a command line brarchive backup of the archive logs. It just seems strange to me that we have to do something like this. I would think if Data Protector offers a backup of database and archive logs, that it would be a complete set to recover from. So I am hoping I am just missing some little nugget of information that will make these backup sets a complete set for recovery without adding a post-exec script.
Thanks,
Bryan
