How to use bpstart_notify/bpend_notify with oracle policy.

Hello ,

Situation :

I need to check FT connection status every time before RMAN backup starts from client which is multi-streamed. How do we do this using bpstart_notify/bpend_notify.

Is there any way to do this with out editing RMAN script ?????(I know we can put this inside RMAN script) but I want to use only bpstart_notify/bpend_notify scripts for this purpose.

For file system backups..It is working but how to call bpstart_notify/bpend_notify scripts before RMAN bakcup starts...

Please give any ideas/suggestions....

    The only way will be to add this to the backup script.

    bpstart_ and bpend_notify is for filesystem backups only.

    Thanks Marianne for quick reply.

    Will it not work even if I add policy name to bpstart_ notify ? like bpstart_notify.oraclepolicy name ?...

    any chances on master server side scripts ?

    No, that won't work. 

    As per my post above, it will run for ALL policies with parent and child jobs.

    You need to add test criteria for specific policy.

    If I am not mistaken, it must be copied from goodies folder to bin. But I haven't used it in a long time... Please check NBU Admin Guide II for info and details.

    The post that I have mentioned above contains a good example.

    I think ...we need to add $1= CLIENTNAME in script to work for specific client as I understood.

    But will that work for oracle policies /clients ? ?
