The parameter syntax is the same as for init.ora parameters.         #
Enclose parameter values which consist of more than one symbol in    #

After any symbol, parameter definition can be continued on the next  #
line.                                                                #
A parameter value list should be enclosed in parentheses, the list   #
items should be delimited by commas.                                 #

plz suggest how can I take online backup and redo log backup.

Answer 1

Hi Shrinivas,
Are you taking backup from the local tape device or from 3rd party software.
I cannot clearly what is the exact problem, Your saying either Db12 the status is mot shown then asking for how to take the backup.
If a backup device is properly configured in the system, then you can take online and offline backup by scheduling in the DB13 tcode.
Pls state the exact problems so that it is easy to provide the solution.

Maheswaran
