Summary :
SAP Note introduces a new termination option for BRARCHIVE, BRBACKUP, and BRRESTORE tools to enhance their usability and effectiveness in handling backups and restores. The note details the introduction of the "-g|-abort" command offering three levels of termination: smooth (stop), normal (term), and hard (kill), facilitating varied levels of interruption suited to specific operational needs. The smooth termination ensures all ongoing copy processes are completed before ending to maintain database integrity, whereas hard termination is immediate but without clean-up, recommended only in specific failed scenarios. Additionally, new guidelines are provided for handling exceptions, enhancing third-party tool integrations, and optimizing process terminations to minimize system risk and ensure recovery reliability.
