Creating a Custom Provisioning Process for Database Refresh (HANA V2/MDC)

Updated

After you register the Commvault script with SAP LaMa, create a custom provisioning database refresh process that uses the script for both the System database and the Tenant database. For more information, see the SAP help on Creating Custom Provisioning Processes.

Before You Begin

If you have not already done so, register the Commvault Script with SAP LaMa. For more information, see Creating Provider Definitions for SAP LaMa Database Operations.

Procedure

  1. In the SAP LaMa user interface, click Custom Provisioning.

    The Custom Provisioning dialog box is displayed.

  2. On the Custom Provisioning Process tab, click Create.

    The Custom Provisioning Process Details page is displayed.

  3. Perform the following steps:

    1. In the Name box, type a unique name.

    2. Click on Restore Backup (Target system) and expand Replacement Steps on the right side.

    3. Add a new process that has the following values:

      Field

      Value

      Name

      Provide a name

      Provider Definition

      Pick the name that you have specified on the Details Provider Implementation Definition page

      Instance Type

      System database

    4. Add another Replacement Steps for Restore Backup (Target system) for instance type Tenant database and use the following values.

      Field

      Value

      Name

      Provide a name

      Provider Definition

      Pick the name that you have specified on the Details Provider Implementation Definition page

      Instance Type

      Tenant database

    5. Click on Add Custom Provisioning Process.

      A custom provisioning process will be displayed.

Configure the source and target system to use the custom provisioning process. For more information, see the SAP article Provisioning and Remote Function Call (RFC).

Result

The Commvault script is part of the SAP LaMa database refresh operation. The SAP LaMa database refresh operation calls the Commvault script with the selected options, for example the target database. The Commvault script uses the inputs to run a database copy operation with the latest source instance backup.
