Create directory with system date for export files

Question

Hello,
I have a requirement to add the system date folder automatically, as the exports files dumps get into to d:\oracle\exp\..... this should be d:\oracle\exp\03182009. for each day it should create these date folder to dump the export files.
here I am sending two of my scirpts .
first one is
set ORACLE_SID=%1
set PATH=D:\ORACLE\ora102\bin;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT
set LOCAL=2:%1
net use h: /delete
net use login
sqlplus test/test@%1 @d:\oracle\dba\apps\expfull\buildfile < d:\oracle\dba\apps\expfull\enter.txt
exp parfile=h:\admin\%1\exp\%1_FULL.par
call h:\admin\%1\exp\%1_FULL.cmd
this is the buildfile script
set term on
set head off
set feed off
set ver off
set lines 159
set pages 0
set wrap on
set concat off
clear columns
clear computes
clear breaks
clear buffer
ttitle off
btitle off
col dbnm new_value sid_dir noprint
col parnm new_value parfil noprint
col dmpnm new_value dmpfil noprint
col lognm new_value logfil noprint
col lstnm new_value lstfil noprint
col zipnm new_value zipfil noprint
col cmdnm new_value cmdfil noprint
col ownr new_value ownername noprint
col tabnm new_value tabname noprint
col partnm new_value partname noprint
col datest new_value datestmp noprint
-- Load the sid_dir, ownername, tabname, partname, and datestmp substitution variables.
select
name dbnm
, to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD')||'_'||'N' datest
, upper('&1') ownr
, upper('&2') tabnm
, upper('&3') partnm
from v$database;
-- Load the filename substitution variables.
select
'&sid_dir'||'_'||'&ownername'||'_'||'&partname'||'.par' parnm
, '&sid_dir'||'_'||'&ownername'||'_'||'&partname'||'_'||'&datestmp'||'.dmp' dmpnm
, '&sid_dir'||'_'||'&ownername'||'_'||'&partname'||'_'||'&datestmp'||'.log' lognm
, '&sid_dir'||'_'||'&ownername'||'_'||'&partname'||'_'||'&datestmp'||'.zip' zipnm
, '&sid_dir'||'_'||'&ownername'||'_'||'&partname'||'.lst' lstnm
, '&sid_dir'||'_'||'&ownername'||'_'||'&partname'||'.cmd' cmdnm
from dual;
-- Build the export parameter file.
spool h:\admin\&sid_dir\exp\&parfil
prompt userid=test/test@&sid_dir
prompt buffer=4194304
prompt direct=Y
prompt recordlength=65535
prompt consistent=Y
prompt file=h:\admin\&sid_dir\exp\&dmpfil
prompt log=h:\admin\&sid_dir\exp\&logfil
prompt tables=(&ownername.&tabname:&partname)
spool off
Please help out...

then run your script - I don't see what the problem is?
You could* do something like -
at 00:01 run a cron job that simply does something like this
(I'm just giving outline - not a particular implementation)
runs date
gets the day, month and year from that -
export MyDay=day
export MyMonth=month
export MyYear=year
mkdir /path/to/dir/oracle/exp/$MyDay$MyMonth$MyYear
At the beginning of your script, before going into SQLPlus
----Your usual stuff------------
set ORACLE_SID=%1
set PATH=D:\ORACLE\ora102\bin;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT
set LOCAL=2:%1
net use h: /delete
net use login
++++plus
cd /path/to/dir/oracle/exp/$MyDay$MyMonth$MyYear
Maybe this will be a help to get you started - it could probably be much more elegant in
Python or whatever, but if shell-scripting is the way you want to go...
I'd be interested to see if this can provide the basis for a solution.
HTH and TIA.
