Configuring SAP HANA for Third-Party Job Authentication

You can use Commvault software to authenticate third party database backup and restore jobs to ensure that the user has the valid credentials and include a valid token file with the job request.

Note

When you enable this feature, you must create a token file to ensure that both third-party and Commvault software jobs function correctly, because Commvault software jobs complete when the SAP HANA catalog backup completes.
The Commvault software uses persistent log backups by default even when you have not set the nPersistentLogBackup additional setting.

Procedure

Enable Commvault software authentication of third party command line jobs.
Run the qlogin.
Create a token parameter text file that specifies the location of the token file that the qlogin command created.

To see the token file contents, on the command line, type the following command, substituting token_paremeter_file with the token parameter text file name.
```
 
cat $[token_parameter_file]
[CvQcmdTokenFile]
$[token_file_location]
```
Example
```
cat $[thirdpartytoken.txt] 
[CvQcmdTokenFile]
/opt/commvault/tokenfile
```
Set the file permissions on the token file that the qlogin command created so that application users can read the file.

Example

If the token file name is "tokenfile, on the command line type the following:
```
chmod $[740] $[/tmp/tokenfile]
```
Set the token file in the parameters file before you perform third-party command line backups and restores.

Set the CvOraSbtParams parameter to the SAP HANA Agent parameter file.

 
CvOraSbtParams
$[location_of_token_parm_file]

Example

CvOraSbtParams
$[/opt/commvault/thirdpartytoken.txt]
