Configuring an Oracle Backup

If the RMAN script contains additional manually entered backup commands, for example a second backup command for backing up a database that is already listed in the first backup command, the object selection is disabled and it is only possible to browse the Source tab.

To edit an Oracle RMAN script, click Edit in the Application Specific Options window (see Figure 1-11 on page 43), edit the script, and then click Save to save the changes to the script.

See the Oracle Recovery Manager User’s Guide and References for more information on Oracle RMAN commands.

The RMAN script created by Data Protector consists of the following parts:

•The Oracle channel allocation together with the Oracle environment parameters’ definition for every allocated channel.

The number of allocated channels is the same as the sum of concurrency numbers for all devices selected for backup.

Once the backup specification has been saved, changing the concurrency number does not change the number of allocated channels in the RMAN script. This has to be done manually by editing the RMAN script.

On Windows systems, a maximum of 32 or 64 (if device is local) channels can be allocated. If the calculated number exceeds this limitation, you have to manually edit the RMAN script and reduce the number of allocated channels.

When an Oracle channel is manually defined by editing the RMAN script, the environment parameters must be added in the following format:

parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8, OB2APPNAME=<DB_NAME>,

OB2BARLIST=<Backup_Specification_Name>)';
