Editing the Oracle RMAN Script

 

The RMAN script is used when the Data Protector backup specification

 

is started to perform a backup of the Oracle objects.

 

The RMAN script section is not written to the backup specification until

 

the backup specification is either saved or manually edited by clicking

 

the Edit button.

 

You can edit the RMAN script section of only after the Data Protector

 

Oracle backup specification has been saved.

Limitations

When editing the RMAN script sections of the Data Protector backup

 

specifications, consider the following limitations:

 

• The Oracle manual configuration convention must be used and not

 

the Oracle automatic configuration convention (introduced by Oracle

 

9i).

 

• Double quotes (") must not be used - single quotes should be used

 

instead.

 

• By default, RMAN scripts created by Data Protector contain

 

instructions for backing up one or more of the following objects:

 

— Databases, tablespaces, or datafiles (the first backup command)

 

— Archive logs (the second backup command)

 

— With Oracle 10g, the flash recovery area (the third backup

 

command)

 

— Control files (the last backup command)

 

The RMAN scripts with all combinations of the above listed backup

 

objects are recognized by Data Protector as its own scripts and it is

 

possible to modify the selection of objects that will be backed up in the

 

Source tab of the Results Area.
