Miscellaneous Feature Release 11.20
The File System Agent will be automatically installed during installation of this software, if it is not
already installed. For System Requirements and install information specific to the File System
Agents, see:

On Solaris computers, the operating system must have been installed with at least the user level
software option selected.
SE Linux
If you have SELinux enabled on the client computer, create the SELinux policy module as a root user
before performing a backup. The SELinux Development package must be installed on the client.
To create an SELinux policy module, perform the following steps as user "root":
1. Create the following files in the /usr/share/selinux/devel directory:
File Name Content of the File
< directory>/<file_name>.te The content of the file should be as follows:
where: policy_module(<name>,<version>)
<directory> is ##############################

2. Create the policy file from command line. Use the following command. Ensure that you give the
following commands in the /usr/share/selinux/devel directory.

.NET Framework
.NET Framework 4.0 is automatically installed. Note that .NET Framework 4.0 can co-exist with other
versions of this software.
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 is Automatically Installed
Starting in Service Pack 18, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 (vcredist2017.exe) is
automatically installed. If a computer does not have the latest Windows updates, the installation of
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 will fail in installing Universal C Runtime.
The following Windows updates must be installed to prevent the installation failure:
KB2919355
KB2939087
KB2975061
KB2999226
Updates are not required on latest Windows operating system versions, such as Microsoft Windows
10 and Microsoft Windows Server 2016, as these versions come with the Universal C Runtime
already installed.

view the instance status. Depending on your configuration, the SAP for Oracle agent uses “/” or “//”
Feature
for data protection and recovery operations. If youRelease 11.20
want to use “//”, then you must configure the
SAP secure store on Commvault and on SAP. For more information on SSFS, go to the SAP support
site and see SAP Note 1611877 Support for ABAP SSFS during database connect.
To use “system” as the user, the password must be "manager" and you need to set the following
additional setting. To the SAP Oracle client, add the additional setting as shown in the following
table.
For instructions on how to add additional settings from the CommCell Console, see Adding or
Modifying Additional Settings from the CommCell Console.
Property Value
Name sCVSAPNOSLASH
Category OracleSapAgent
Type String
Value Y
Note:
If you disabled OS authentication, and the system user password is not "manager" and you do not
have the SSFS feature enabled, you can use the Oracle connect string specified in the SAP Oracle
instance properties to run the brbackup, brarchive, brrestore, and rerecover commands.
To use the connect string, set the bUseConnectStringForBRTools additional setting. To the SAP
Oracle client, add the additional setting as shown in the following table.
