Background documentation Database Manager Operator (DBM Operator) Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

A Database Manager operator (DBM operator) can perform various functions of the Database Manager tool, specified by his or her authorizations. These functions include the control and monitoring of database instances, making backups, or restoring a database instance. They can log on to the Database Manager more than once, which means they can, for example, query operating parameters while functions that take a long time are still running.

Caution

DBM operators are not database users. For example, they cannot connect to the query tools or the Loader program, since only database users can work with these programs.

You define the first DBM operator when you install a database instance. This operator can then create more DBM operators, which can have some or all of the authorizations of the first operator.

Note

The Database Manager stores the name and password of the DBM operators in uppercase characters. They can have a maximum of 18 characters (nine characters in UNICODE). Special characters are not permitted.
