Livecache 7.9 DB Studio Backup Directory

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am using DB studio for the first time. I can trigger and successfully execute backups through DB Studio for my LC database. But I notice that it is writing to the default path - Run Directory : /sapdb/<SID>/data/wrk/<SID>. I must mention here that I am choosing the option of 'File' as my backup medium. Now I understand that the Run directory path is maintained in the parameter file <SID>.pah.

My question over here is can I change this path to write to the file system which I have for backups. Is the run directory path linked to other executable which may have an impact if the path is changed. Also another question is , I noticed that it is asking for a file name every time I trigger a backup. So if I schedule this backup through DB13 by choosing the Livecache database , how do I adjust the name of the backup file for every occurrence of the backup.

Thanks

Hi Surajit,

Did you mean the backup medium was written to run directory? What is the output of dbcmlic command?

dbmcli -d <dbsid> -u <username>,<password> backup_template_show all

We do not recommend to change run directory.

Best regards,

Hi James,

Yes every time I trigger the backup using DB Studio it just writes into the run directory itself.

Here is the output that you requested;

The file ASL_COM is the name of the backup file and it writes directly into the RUN directory. I am also attaching the  screenshot from DB studio;

This is the screen that I get and here it doesn't allow me to change the file name or the file path.

Thanks
