Creating the NFS Mount

Creating the NFS Mount

Use an NFS mount to create a shared file system between the SAP application folder and the Data Archive staging folder. Specify the connection properties in the source and target connections.
To create the NFS mount, perform the following high-level steps:
  1. In the SAP application server file system, set up an NFS mount point to the Data Archive staging folder.
  2. Set up the user with access to the Data Archive staging folder. If the SAP system is on Windows, that user must have the standard read, write, append, and delete permissions to this folder.
  3. Configure the Data Archive source connection.
    Specify the required source connection properties. In addition, specify the properties specific to SAP application retirement.
    The following table lists the required properties for SAP application retirement with the FTP option:
    Property
    Description
    Source/Staging Attachment Location
    The directory path of the staging folder on the SAP application server. SAP downloads the attachments and saves the BCP files to this folder.
    Enter the full path of the location. For example,
    \\10.1.10.10\interfaces\CCO\
    .
    You must specify the same directory path for the
    Staging Directory
     target connection property.
    SAP Fetch Size
    Number of rows that the retirement job extracts at a time from the SAP cluster and pool tables to write to the BCP file.
    SAP Host
    Host of the SAP application that you want to retire.
    SAP Client
    Client in which the user logs in. Note that all clients in the SAP application are retired.
    SAP System Number
    System number in which the user logs in.
    SAP Language
    Language in which the user logs in. Note that all languages in the SAP application are retired.
    SAP User
    User that logs in to the SAP application. The user must be assigned to the ZINFA_RETIREMENT_PREPARATION role and include RFC connection authorizations.
    SAP User Password
    Password for the SAP user.
  4. If you want Data Archive to save the BCP files in compressed file format, enable the check box for the
    Compressed
     property in the source connection.
    If enabled, Data Archive compresses BCP files and saves them as
    .gz
     files in the Data Archive staging folder. If not enabled, Data Archive saves BCP files as
    .bcp
     files.
  5. Configure the Data Vault target connection.
    For the
    Staging Directory
     property, enter the same directory path that you entered for the
    Source/Staging Attachment Location
     source connection property.
  6. Create the SAP application retirement project.

    Informatica Data Archive User Guide
