SAP backups using TDP for R3 and Oracle?
Those are not backups, but archives.

So the client deletes old versions with the MAX_VERSIONS value from the utl file

Thanks for your reply .
Yes , SAP backups using TDP for R3 and Oracle

I have four management class in policy domain where are MD , MDLOG1 , MDLOG2 and MDDEFAULT ( which is the default class ) and there archive set are set to unlimt.

But I have set the following in all the default class i.e in backup settting

1. Versions Data Exists = 7
2. Versions Data Deleted = 1
3. Retain Extra Versions = 0
4. Retain Only Version = 0

But still i have getting 8 , 9 or 10 version of database .


Any advice from your side?

Hmm strange. Arch_delete is enabled for the client. Guess that's default.
Not using rman is some way?

The version settings does not apply for archive copy group that is use for tdp for erp (using brtools)

The version settings is use for the backup copy group.

RMAN backup method is not using here, anymore suggest for checking

What is the archive copygroup settings?

This setting is in # of days

 

[Jeroen]

check the output in the anf/aff file in /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup
At the end of backup there is logging of it deleteting versions older then XXX (the max_versions setting)

Archive setting is set to no limit
