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, these notify scripts are REALLY for filesystem backups only.
bpbkar is calling these scripts and does not run for agent backups.
The master server has parent_start_notify and parent_end_notify scripts.
When this script is enabled, it will run for each job with a parent job. You can add test criteria for a specific policy.
See this post for example: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/run-script-master-when-job-starts

Will it run specific operations that are speficied inside the script ..how to enable/activate this script for specific client .?
Please help me.

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 ? ?
