Does SAP DB offer High Availability/Hot Standby Server solutions?
SAP DB supports a couple of standby solutions. Which one you choose depends on your requirements. • SAP DB supports Snapshot and Split Mirror Techniques (see SAP Note 371247) • SAP DB supports Cluster solutions, which are implemented by the hardware suppliers. The Microsoft Cluster Server is directly supported by SAP DB (see SAP Notes 319835 and 508979). • You can build a shadow database with SAP DB versions 7.2.05 upwards. In addition, the Libelle company (www.libelle.de) offers a tool called DBShadow, which will soon be available for SAP DB. • The support of a Hot Standby Configuration with logshipping via a storage system is planned for version 7.4.4, which is scheduled for the first or second quarter of 2003. For documentation on standby solutions see the documentation The Database System SAP DB.
