Deployment of operation definition files
Create two identical operation definition files for the target SQL Server instance. Place one operation
definition file on the database server and the other on the backup server. In a cluster configuration,
the same operation definition file must be located on all the servers where the cluster resource (mount
point or file) to be backed up is defined.
The following figure shows the locations of operation definition files.
Figure 58 Example of locations of operation definition files (when the backup is of an SQL Server
database)
In this example, the virtual server (server name: VServer_C) is running on the database server A
(server name: DBServer_A) and the database server B (server name: DBServer_B), which make
up a cluster.
The SQL Server instance INSTANCE_1 exists on the databases A and B, and the virtual server C has
been defined as a cluster resource.
In this example, the operation definition file for the instance INSTANCE_1 is located on the database
server A, the database server B, and the backup server (server name: BKServer) respectively.
Format of operation definition files
An operation definition file is created, for each operation ID that uniquely identifies the processing
target, with a name in the following format:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\script\conf\_operation-ID.dat
The sample file for the operation definition file is stored in the following location:
Application-Agent-installation-folder\DRM\script\sample
