• When a temporary directory for extended commands is created automatically according to the
naming conventions, the length of the directory name does not exceed the limit for the OS.

In this example, you create an operation definition file for each of the operation IDs listed in the
following table.

Server and in a cluster configuration)

To create operation definition files (in a cluster configuration):
1. Create an operation definition file on the active server (database server A), and set the items you
need.
Create the file with the following name:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\script\conf\_Operation_A.dat
An example of entries in this file is as follows:
BACKUP_OBJECT=MSSQL
DB_SERVER_NAME=VServer_C
INSTANCE_NAME=INSTANCE_1
TARGET_NAME=
FTP_HOME_DIR=C:\FTP_ROOT
FTP_SUB_DIR=script
SET_DRM_HOSTNAME=1
2. On the active server (database server A), execute EX_DRM_SQL_DEF_CHECK, which is a check
tool for operation definition files.
EX_DRM_SQL_DEF_CHECK operation-ID -db
The operation definition file is checked. In addition, a temporary directory for extended commands
is automatically created.
If the tool detected an error, correct the contents of the file and then re-execute the check tool.
3. Copy the operation definition file you created on the active server (database server A) into the
backup server.
The copy destination is:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\script\conf\
