Oracle 9i configuration

The %f format parameter was introduced in Oracle 10g. It is not available in Oracle 9i. This parameter is required though to support deduplication as explained in the previous section. Therefore, it has to be hard coded. The following sub-sections explain how to find out the right values to replace the %f.

Configuration in HP Data Protector

The following examples show how to do the required modifications using an existing backup specification created by a blank backup template. The deduplication template for Oracle 10g should not be used.

Open the RMAN script in the Data Protector GUI

The following examples assume that a recovery catalog for the target database is available and already configured for the backup specification (see Configure Oracle dialog). The configuration of a recovery catalog for the target database is required to store local or global RMAN scripts in the recovery catalog.

Select the Oracle backup specification you want to configure for deduplication. Select the Source tab, right click on the database server and select “Configure”
