Best way to pass RMAN send command via a config file
Hi,
I'd like to know the best way to read the RMAN SEND command that is in a config file instead of hardcoding into scripts. would a similar setup like below work with netbackup?
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(NETBACKUP_CONF=/home/oracle/netbackup/nb.conf)' maxpiecesize 10G; Here is the rman section that is being run
connect target /;
show all;
run
{allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(NETBACKUP_CONF=/home/oracle/netbackup/nb.conf)' maxpiecesize 10G;
backup current controlfile;
}
contents of nb.conf file are:
SEND 'NB_ORA_SERV=media_server, NB_ORA_CLIENT=my_client, NB_ORA_POLICY=ORACLE, NB_ORA_PC_STREAMS=4';
I think you are referring to a "cmdfile"?
I have seen Oracle dba's using this in the past and found the following in the NBU Sample scripts:
@REM If you are getting an error that the input line is too long, you will need
@REM to put the RMAN run block in a separate file. Then use the "cmdfile"
@REM option of RMAN. For more information on the "cmdfile" options please
@REM refer to the RMAN documentation.I found this Oracle web site that explains the use of a CMDFILE:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28273/rcmsynta040.htmAlso see 'Command Files' over here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2009/09-sep/o59recovery-085185.html
