Integrating Oracle and Data Protector

 

 

Configuring an Oracle Backup

Table 1-2

Oracle Backup Options

 

 

 

 

Disable Data

By default, Data Protector backs up the Data Protector

 

Protector

managed control file in every backup session. Select this

 

managed control

option to disable backup of the Data Protector managed

 

file backup

control file.

 

 

 

 

Back up standby

Oracle Data Guard: This option is applicable if the

 

database

database is configured with the standby connection. By

 

 

default, RMAN backs up the database files and archived

 

 

redo logs on the primary system. Select this option to

 

 

enable backup of the database files and archive logs on

 

 

standby system. However, only the archive logs created

 

 

after the standby database was configured can be backed

 

 

up at standby site. Archive logs created before the

 

 

standby database was configured must be backed up on

 

 

the primary database.

 

 

Note that the current control file or the control file for

 

 

standby will still be backed up from the primary system.

 

 

 

 

RMAN Script

You can edit the Oracle RMAN script section of the Data

 

 

Protector Oracle backup specification. The script is

 

 

created by Data Protector during the creation of a backup

 

 

specification and reflects the backup specification’s

 

 

selections and settings. You can edit the script only after

 

 

the backup specification has been saved. For information

 

 

on how to edit the RMAN script section, see “Editing the

 

 

Oracle RMAN Script” on page 47.

 

 

 

 

Pre-exec,

Specify a command or RMAN script that will be started

 

Post-exec

by ob2rman.pl on the Oracle server system before the

 

 

backup (pre-exec) or after it (post-exec). RMAN scripts

 

 

must have the .rman extension. Do not use double quotes.

 

 

For example, you can provide scripts to shut down and

 

 

start an Oracle instance. For UNIX, see “Examples of

 

 

Pre-Exec and Post-Exec Scripts on UNIX” on page 46.

 

 

Provide the pathname of the command or RMAN script.

 

 

OpenVMS: Provide the pathname of the command

 

 

(OMNI$ROOT:[BIN]).
