OCF_HEARTBEAT_SAPDAT(7)        OCF resource agents	 OCF_HEARTBEAT_SAPDAT(7)

NAME
     ocf_heartbeat_SAPDatabase	-  Manages  a SAP database instance as an HA re-
     source.

SYNOPSIS
     SAPDatabase [start | stop | status | monitor | meta-data | validate-all]

DESCRIPTION
     Resource script for SAP databases. It manages a SAP database of any type as
     an HA resource.

     The purpose of the resource agent is to start, stop and monitor  the  data-
     base  instance of a SAP system. Together with the RDBMS system it will also
     control the related network service for the database. Like the Oracle  Lis-
     tener  and  the xserver of MaxDB. The resource agent expects a standard SAP
     installation of the database and therefore needs less parameters to config-
     ure. The resource agent supports the following databases:

     - Oracle 10.2, 11.2 and 12

     - DB/2 UDB for Windows and Unix 9.x

     - SAP-DB / MaxDB 7.x

     - Sybase ASE 15.7

     - SAP HANA Database since 1.00 - with SAP note 1625203 (http://sdn.sap.com)

     In fact this resource agent does not run any database commands directly. It
     uses the SAP standard process SAPHostAgent to  control  the  database.  The
     SAPHostAgent  must  be  installed on each cluster node locally. It will not
     work, if you try to run the SAPHostAgent also as a HA resource. Please fol-
     low SAP note 1031096 for the installation	of  SAPHostAgent.  The	required
     minimum  version of SAPHostAgent is: Release: 7.20 Patch Number: 90 or com-
     pile time after: Dec 17 2011

     To exemplify the usage, for a HANA database with  SID  "TST"  and	instance
     number "10", the resource configuration using crmsh syntax looks like:

     primitive	rsc_SAPDatabase_TST_HDB10 ocf:heartbeat:SAPDatabase \ params DB-
     TYPE="HDB" SID="TST" \ op start interval="0" timeout="3600"  \  op  monitor
     interval="120" timeout="700" \ op stop interval="0" timeout="600"

     Make  sure to tune the operations timeout values accordingly with your cho-
     sen Database and available infrastructure.

     Note that the same configuration can be achieved using any other  CLI  tool
     for cluster configuration available, like pcs or cibadmin.

SUPPORTED PARAMETERS
     SID
	 The unique database system identifier. e.g. P01

	 (unique, required, string, no default)

     DIR_EXECUTABLE
	 The full qualified path where to find saphostexec and saphostctrl. Usu-
	 ally  you can leave this empty. Then the default: /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe
	 is used.

	 (optional, string, default "/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe")

     DBTYPE
	 The name of the database vendor you use. Set  either:	ADA,  DB6,  ORA,
	 SYB, HDB

	 (required, string, no default)

     DBINSTANCE
	 Must  be  used  for special database implementations, when database in-
	 stance name is not equal to the SID (e.g. Oracle DataGuard)

	 (unique, optional, string, no default)

     DBOSUSER
	 The parameter can be set, if the database processes on operating system
	 level are not executed with the default user of the used database type.
	 Defaults: ADA=taken from /etc/opt/sdb, DB6=db2SID, ORA=oraSID and  ora-
	 cle, SYB=sybSID, HDB=SIDadm

	 (unique, optional, string, no default)

     NETSERVICENAME
	 Deprecated  - do not use anymore. This parameter will be deleted in one
	 of the next releases.

	 (optional, string, no default)

     DBJ2EE_ONLY
	 Deprecated - do not use anymore. This parameter will be deleted in  one
	 of the next releases.

	 (optional, boolean, default false)

     JAVA_HOME
	 Deprecated  - do not use anymore. This parameter will be deleted in one
	 of the next releases.

	 (optional, string, no default)

     STRICT_MONITORING
	 This controls how the resource agent monitors the database. If  set  to
	 true, it will use 'saphostctrl -function GetDatabaseStatus' to test the
	 database  state.  If  set to false, only operating system processes are
	 monitored.

	 (optional, boolean, default false)

     AUTOMATIC_RECOVER
	 If you set this to true, 'saphostctrl -function StartDatabase' will al-
	 ways be called with the '-force' option.

	 (optional, boolean, default false)

     MONITOR_SERVICES
	 Defines which services are monitored by the SAPDatabase resource agent.
	 Service names must correspond	with  the  output  of  the  'saphostctrl
	 -function  GetDatabaseStatus'	command.  The  default	MONITOR_SERVICES
	 value is derived from the database type DBTYPE. For reference:

	 - DBTYPE "ORA" sets MONITOR_SERVICES="Instance|Database|Listener";

	 - DBTYPE "HDB" sets MONITOR_SERVICES="hdbindexserver|hdbnameserver";

	 - DBTYPE "ADA" sets MONITOR_SERVICES="Database";

	 - DBTYPE "DB6" sets MONITOR_SERVICES="{SID}|{db2sid}";

	 - DBTYPE "SYB" sets MONITOR_SERVICES="Server".

	 This parameter should be set ONLY if is  needed  to  monitor  different
	 services than the ones listed above.

	 (optional, string, no default)

     DIR_BOOTSTRAP
	 Deprecated  - do not use anymore. This parameter will be deleted in one
	 of the next releases.

	 (optional, string, no default)

	 of the next releases.

	 (optional, string, no default)

     PRE_START_USEREXIT
	 The full qualified path where to find a script or program which  should
	 be executed before this resource gets started.

	 (optional, string, no default)

     POST_START_USEREXIT
	 The  full qualified path where to find a script or program which should
	 be executed after this resource got started.

	 (optional, string, no default)

	 be executed before this resource gets stopped.

	 (optional, string, no default)

     POST_STOP_USEREXIT
	 The  full qualified path where to find a script or program which should
	 be executed after this resource got stopped.

	 (optional, string, no default)
