Configuring the SAP MaxDB Parameter File

After you install the SAP MaxDB agent, configure the parameter file.

Procedure

  1. Run the command from the DBM client interface to associate the SAP MaxDB database with the product software.

    Windows Configuration

    Note

    You must use double quotes when there is a space in the path that points to the backint.conf file.

    dbm_configset -raw BSI_ENV <software install path>\SapMaxDbAgent\backint.conf

    Example

    In this example, you do not need the double quotes.

    dbm_configset -raw BSI_ENV C:\SapMaxDB\backint.conf

    In this example, you must use double quotes because the path contains a space ("Program Files").

    dbm_configset -raw BSI_ENV "C:\Program Files\CommVault\ContentStore\SapMaxDbAgent\backint.conf"

    UNIX Configuration

    Log on to the database and then type the following command from the DBM client interface, substituting the database_name, user_name, and password:

    dbm_configset -raw BSI_ENV <software install path>/SapMaxDbAgent/backint.conf 
     dbm_configset -raw set_variable_0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/<software install path>/Base
     dbm_configset -raw set_variable_1 SHLIB_PATH=/<software install path>/Base

    Example

    dbm_configset -raw BSI_ENV /opt/commvault/SapMaxDbAgent/backint.conf 
     dbm_configset -raw set_variable_0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/commvault/Base
     dbm_configset -raw set_variable_1 SHLIB_PATH=/opt/commvault/Base

    Configure the shared library path in the .profile file from the root directory.

    AIX and HP-UX Configuration:

    SHLIB_PATH=/<software install path>/Base:/<software install path>/Base64
     export SHLIB_PATH
     For Linux and Solaris:
     LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/<software install path>/Base:/<software install path>/Base64
     export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  2. Configure the SAP MaxDB parameter file (param). Include the required and optional parameters.

    For information on the parameters, see Supported SAP MaxDB Configuration File Parameters.

    The parameter file is located under the <software_install_folder>\SapMaxDbAgent.
