Direct RMAN output to UNIX file

How i could direct RMAN output to a file

How, indeed? Hmm.....
Wouldn't it be great if Oracle compiled information about their various software products and published it? Even better, what if they published it online, and made it available for free??
Wouldn't that be great?
Oh, wait, what's this?

Urgent : Doubt on Output in UNIX FIle

HI Friends,
I have downloaded the output from my program into a text file.
In which i have 1matnr,1tab,1price.
it coming perfectly. I am using constant
constant: c_a type x value '09'.
this is giving a tab in text file.When i checked the output in Unix file, In the place of Tab a
Hash(#) is replaced there.
Can anybody help me to get only a material numer one tab and then a Date.
or Is it like a Hash is the denotion for a Tab in unix.

Hi gokul
I think you need to change File type in FM: WS_DOWNLOAD as 'DAT' or 'ASC' .

Saving RMAN output to os file..

Dear Rman Gurus!
I'd like to save an RMAN output to os file.. for example this would be terrific:
RMAN> list backup; > /home/oralce/os_user/list.txt ???
is this possible? how do you have this solved in your env? I cannot find the right solution..
I am using version 8 and 9.. so spool log is not quite good as it doesn't work with v. 9..
Many thanks for your suggestions!
agat81

RMAN v. 8Are you talking about 8i or 8.0?
The LOG option is available in 8i, but I don't believe the SPOOL LOG option is available. I have no idea about 8.0.

Redirect SM50 output on unix file

Hello,
how can we execute daily SM50 daily and redirect html output on unix file?
I Tried SE38, execute SM50 succefully, but no way to redirect output of this transaction on a unix file ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi majda,
Hope you are doing good.
Maybe check /nSM49 and create a OS command using ">>" operator Divyanshu mentioned:

Output device - printing in unix file - where do I define the UNIX path?

Hi,
We use an special Output Device to print spool requests directly in Unix. These Output Devices are defined as Local Unix File. When those spool requests are printed, a file is created in certain path in UNIX.
The question is where this link is defined?, I dont see where in the Output Device (trn SPAD) is defined the path in UNIX.
Thanks!
Aaron

Hi,
Might be the unix path would have been defined in the SPAD only under the Access method of the output device, in the field Destination host.

How to resend the RMAN output to a text file

Hi ,
I am using RMAN for backup purpose.
How should we send the output of RMAN to a text file.
For Example If we issue the following command then how should we send the results of that command into a text file:
RMAN> report obsolete device
type 'sbt_tape';
result:
RMAN-03022: compiling command: report
RMAN-06147: no obsolete backups found
Any ideas will be great for me.
Thanks

RMAN script for Unix

We have decided to abandon user managed hot backups and go with RMAN. Could you critizize the following approach and see if we are missing anything? I am making whole database backup and controlfile and archivelogs. I am using RMAN catalog.
In a Unix script setting all of the environment variables and then
connect target ********
connect catalog *********
configure snapshot controlfile to '${ORACLE_HOME}/snapshot_${ORACLE_SID}_${TIMESTAMP}_ctl';
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
allocate channel c3 type disk;
backup database plus archivelogs;
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
p.s. control file autobackup is on
Also, I have these questions:
1. How do I direct the output of this backup to a file?
2. Is there a way to check for errors within this file to see if the backup went ok?
3. Would anyone have a unix shell script example of the above?
4. How do I make sure that catalog is synched with control file and what is on the file system?
5. Is it customary to delete archive logs via RMAN script if, say, my policy is to keep it on the file system for 7 days?
thank you for any input!

Hi,
You didnot mention the db version, assumed it's 10g.
If you planned to schedule this job at os level, you might use crontab (unix). The snapshot controlfile config can set with catalog once, so it's not needed to include in your backup script. Like wise your retention can set as "recovery window of 7 days".
1. How do I direct the output of this backup to a file?
==> inside rman script you might use the following command,
set log to '/home/oracle/rmanbkp.log';
2. Is there a way to check for errors within this file to see if the backup went ok?
==> you might check in the logfile for ORA- and RMAN- errors.
3. Would anyone have a unix shell script example of the above?
I use to schedule this job either by OEM or crontab using rman script file.
4. How do I make sure that catalog is synched with control file and what is on the file system?
RMAN will do auto sync with controlfile.
5. Is it customary to delete archive logs via RMAN script if, say, my policy is to keep it on the file system for 7 days?
Upon successful backup you may delete the archivelogs or you might decide to keep it for 7 days and then delete by applying "delete obsolete" command.
Thanks,

UNIX files pc download (AL11, ...)

Hi,
I generate a unix file (output as file), for example for EC Sales List, and I want to know how to access such file with a user transaction or something similar. If I access to the file directly in the server the file is absolutely correct, but I want the user to be able to access the file. I am trying to use transaction AL11 to save such file in local pc unconverted, but I have problems because it includes a header and each line of the file end after the last character not blank and it should not do that. The file in the server do not end after the last character not blank, because it has characters ' ' at the end of each line. That is why I would like to know if there is another way to access to unix files.
Thanks,
Ariana

Thank you very much for your answers. Finally, using CG3Y I can obtain my file without problems.

RMAN / EMC Networker 7.6 (NMDA): Rman output logfile specification??

DBA Colleagues,
I have a quick question concerning leveraging the NSR_RMAN_ARGUMENTS parameter with the new version of EMC Networker & NMDA. In past EMC Networker versions, when the EMC Scheduler was used to initiate the backup jobs, there was a shell script called nsrnmo that could leverage unix variables and os commands to construct the path/filename for all rman output files such as:
NSRMMO defintion(/usr/bin/nsrnmo--shell script):
NSR_RMAN_ARGUMENTS="msglog '/nsr/applogs/${ORACLE_SID}_msglog_`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S`.log' append"
NSRNMO output which would produce an rman output logfile of(this was able to used OS vars and commands):
/nsr/applogs/MYDB_msglog_2012-06-04_11:43:02.log
Now in the latest version of EMC Networker, there are config files that are not shell scripts, but still use the same definition:
NMDA config file (/nsr/apps/config/MYDB.cfg)
ORACLE_SID=MYDB
NSR_RMAN_ARGUMENTS="msglog '/nsr/applogs/${ORACLE_SID}_msglog_`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S`.log' append"
MNDA Output which produce rman output logifle(no translation of the varaibles...no MYDB or date format returned in logfile name):
/nsr/applogs/${ORACLE_SID}_msglog_`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S`.log
Has anyone converted from Networker 7.5(NMO) or ealier to Networker 7.6(NMDA)..and what specification was useful for rman output logfile naming??
Kind Regards,
. . . Todd . . .

Hi Todd,
I implemented the nmda module after using the nmo module for some of my databases.
Sadly enough the old nmo had much more options to push environment settings compared to the new nmda.
Also the translation of variables seems to be lost as well.
The only way for me was to create an nmda file per database having hard coded values in it.
I use cron to rotate the log to a logfile with a date format just before midnight.
Regards,
Tycho

Unable to Open unix file in UNICODE system which created NON-UNICODE system

Unable to Open unix file in UNICODE system which created in NON-UNICODE system
We have two SAP systems both are ECC6.0 but System 1 is NON-Unicode and System2 is Unicode system.
There is a common unix directory/folder for both system.
Our requirement is to create one file on unix common folder and write the data to file from system1 .
In system2 open the same file for appending mode to write the data .
The file in system 1 created with below sentence.
OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
Now I have to append the data from system 2 to same file.
I have tried to used below statement in system 2 to open the file but sy-subrc value comes as '8'.
1> OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
2>OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR APPENDING IN legacy TEXT MODE CODE PAGE
cdp IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS .
3>OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING Default.
4>OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.
Tried out all the possibilities as per F1 help given for open dataset , but still there is problem with opn file in appending as well output mode.However the file successfully open in Input mode(Read).
Please advice suggestion to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Transfer string to unix file

Hi Gurus,
I am converting data in an internal table (consisting of 5000 records) into XML string using CALL TRANSFORMATION. All data is stored in XML format in a variable of type STRING.
I am trying to write this data in a Unix file using TRANSFER statement.
The problem is all data is not copied into the file!
Can anyone suggest a suitable solution so that complete data in the string variable will be reflected in the file?
Regards,
Jack

Hi,
If you are opening the file in text mode, your itab fields have to be character type fields. So define another itab with fields of character type with lengths defined as per your output requirements.
You have understand that if you have floating, decimal fields, currency or quantity fields in your itab, they are know to SAP only, once you try to download such records, converting them into character form needs to happen.
Did you try the binary mode with your 'open dataset' statement?

Although I dislike MPEG-1 because of the large file size those .mpg files are commonly used on the Web. They can be played by nearly any computer and are not "Player" dependent like WMP or QuickTime so each user can decide how to view them.
As a bonus they are a "playback" format which makes editing and repurposing them a bit more difficult so your media is a bit more "secure".
I'll stick to QuickTime formats (avoiding H.264 video codec) and force QuickTime down their WiMPy throats. Millions of PC's have QuickTime installed (because of iTunes) and others can easily download the free Player and browser plug-in. By avoiding H.264 my files can be viewed on Mac's and PC's that can't install QuickTime 7.
