Procedure documentation Transferring an Existing Media Definition Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You can transfer existing definitions for backup media from the media definition file control.med(database version 6.2) to the new media definition file dbm.mmm (as of database version 7.2.4.2).

See also: Database Manager Files

The media definition from the old file is not transferred if there is an identical media name in the old and new media definition files.

Note

As the old definitions for backup media do not contain a backup type (incremental data backup, complete data backup, or log backup), you should define this afterwards using the command medium_put (Defining or Changing a Backup Medium). Otherwise you must specify this when starting the backup process.

Prerequisites

You have the DBM operator authorization Backup or DBInfoRead.
