Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I ended up writing the script
define 3 = &backup_directory
define 4 = &instance_name
define 5 = &user_dump_directory
Set Heading Off
Set Verify Off
Set FeedBack Off
Set LineSize 132
Set PageSize 1000
set termout off
Spool cold_back.sql
select 'connect /as sysdba' from dual;
Select 'Startup Force' || CHR(10) ||
'Shutdown Normal' From Dual;
select '! mkdir '||'&&3'||'/'||to_char(sysdate,'yyyyddmm') from dual
/* Data Files */
Select '!cp ' || File_Name || ' &&3'||'/'||to_char(sysdate,'yyyyddmm') || CHR(10) ||'!gzip ' || '&&3' ||'/'||to_char(sysdate,'yyyyddmm')|| '/' || SubStr(File_Name, InStr(File_Name, '/', -1)+1) From Sys.DBA_Data_Files
/* Redo Log Files */
Select '!cp ' || Member || ' &&3'||'/'||to_char(sysdate,'yyyyddmm') || CHR(10) || '!gzip ' || '&&3'||'/'||to_char(sysdate,'yyyyddmm') || '/' || SubStr(Member, InStr(Member, '/', -1)+1) From V$LogFile
/* Control Files */
Select '!cp ' || name || ' &&3'||'/'||to_char(sysdate,'yyyyddmm') From V$controlfile
/* Init and Config Files */
Select '!cp $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init&&4' || '.ora &&3'||'/'||to_char(sysdate,'yyyyddmm') From Dual
alter session set tracefile_identifier=coldbackup
alter database backup controlfile to trace
select '!mv '||'&&5/*COLDBACKUP*' ||' &&3'||'/'||to_char(sysdate,'yyyyddmm') FROM dual
Select 'Startup' From Dual;
Select 'Exit' from dual;
set termout on
PROMPT " Run the output cold_back.sql script [sqlplus -s '/as sysdba' @cold_back.sql ]"
Spool Off
