Hi All I am running TSM 5.1.5 on Windows 2000 and SAP/R3 using Oracle on a TRU64 Unix Cluster. I backup the SAP Databases using the SAP/R3 TDP for Tivoli on Tru64 Unix. I wish to restore the SPP (Production Database) to the SPQ (QA Database) location, overwriting the SPQ database with SPP's database. However when I use the SAPDBA tools it does not allow me to point SPP restores to a new location. The only way I can see roumd this is to stop SPP rename it to SPQ and then Restore SPP, or modify the *.anf File from SPP's backup with SPQ's location. I am not very knowledgeable on SAP/R3, so any help will be greatly appreciated. This has been requested for test purposes and will not be the normal practice.
With the cluster consiting of 4 Compaq GS80 Servers these databases can be running on any of the four machine, as the cluster software points to a primary machine however if it fails the databases, applications etc. etc. get failed over to one of the other 3 machines. So while there are 4 CPU's the is not physical distinction as to where the databases and applications are running. Therefore all 4 CPU's share the same directory structure on a set of SAN disks aswell.
