Calling a script from rman

Question

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to call a script from rman.
database 9i
Recovery catalog 10g.
Ex :
connect target test/test@TEST;
connect catalog rman/rman@RMAN
@backup (where backup is a datafile backup script on unix)
I dont know if there is any other way of calling a script within an rman script.
Any ideas....
Thanks in Advance

OK,
I understood. The file .SQL is for SQL statements only, not for RMAN commands.
You can create a shell script on Unix named your_backup.sh on /home/oracle directory,
for example.
This shell script file (bellow) is with your rman code, like this:
#!/bin/sh
# Name: A name for the shell script
# Author: You
# Description: Executes backup for Sunday using the RMAN
# Updates:
export ORACLE_HOME=$1
export ORACLE_SID=$2
export LOG_DIR=$3
# Variables:
SCRIPT="your_backup"
data_log=`date '+%y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S'`
logfile=${LOG_DIR}/${SCRIPT}-${data_log}.log
# Execution of script backup of rman:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman <<EOF > $logfile
connect target rman/rman
connect catalog rman/rman
run{
set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '%F';
allocate channel d1 type disk format '/tmp/SID/df_s%s_p%p_t%t';
restore controlfile to '/PATH/ctl/cntrlTEMP.dbf' from autobackup;
replicate controlfile from '/PATH/ctl/cntrlTEMP.dbf';
sql "alter database mount";
release channel d1;
EOF
exitto you execute this script, you can do this on the unix:
[oracle@server oracle]$ /home/oracle/your_backup.sh /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0 devdb /home/oracleThis script is going to generate log file to you analyze.
