I need to execute an RMAN script initiated from the BE console.
The reasons for this are primarily to provide a central point of backup activity for the organization and to allow for coordination with all other backup jobs using the tape library resources.
Additionally, the DBA initiated jobs show up in the history on the BE console as a system generated backup name with no signifigance to the name to indicate what is is. This causes the monitoring of these jobs to be much more difficult to implement.
The interface on BE only allows for the most basic RMAN activities. I am using 10g, utilizing fully the flash recovery area, incrementally updated backups, ASM, etc.
The BE interface cannot deal with or take advantage of any of that.
So, as indicated in my original post, how can I run an rman script in a backup job initiated from BE?
