new_db_homeLocate this document in the navigation structure

This parameter defines the name of the sapdata home directory of the database copy. You must set this parameter if you want to make a database copy on local disks using BRBACKUP, that is, backup_dev_type = disk_copy|disk_standby.

new_db_home = <dir>
         

Default value: none

Possible value:

<dir> is the new SAP database directory:

  • UNIX: /oracle/<NEW_SID>

  • Windows: <drive>:\oracle\<NEW_SID>

This directory must also contain the sapbackup directory.

Note

With Windows, the sapdata directories can be distributed across several drives. When making a database copy, you can specify a target drive for each drive (see m|-mode). If you do not specify a target drive, all files are copied to the drive defined in the parameter.
