How can RMAN script check if database is down?

Some of our test databases are not always up and running, however when our backup software still calls the RMAN scripts and bombs when it can't connect, producing unwanted errors in the backup software logs.
Is there something simple I can put in the RMAN script that will check if the DB is down and simply exit if it is?

i know RMAN simply errors out, that's the problem.
we don't consider that a "real" error, but our backup software sees any error as legit and reports it to us.
we don't simply want to ignore these error messages, because sometimes they contain an error that IS important to us.

  • How can I connect to a database from ipaq with cldc??

    how can I connect to a database from ipaq with cldc??

    Hi Again
    There is a library by Mimer which allows you do connect to a Mimer SQL Server, don't know must about it, but here is a link.
    http://developer.mimer.com/
    If that doesn't suit you, I suspect that you will have to use some sort of proxy solution. Either by creating a servlet to accept the sql string you want to send, or by creating your own custom proxy server running J2EE. The servlet or the proxy server must be able to receive an SQL String, do the query to the actual database and return the results in some sort of format to the mobile device. Maybe just a space delimited string.
    Hope this helps

  • How can i use offline & online database in the same time?

    how can i use offline & online database in the same time?
    my database in another server when the connection true it connect
    but if not does not work
    i wanna make offline database if the server not connected it connect offline then the server is on it alter all data from the offline to the server.

    User, please tell us your Jdev version!
    There is no such functionality build into the framework. The offline data base is only for designing the db, not to have a backup db.
    If you can't connect to the db the application will not work.

  • How can I reuse the BC4J database connection?

    How can I reuse the BC4J database connection?
    I want to use the application module connection without opening another in a custom code. At this level I can’t access de ADF code, that’s why I can’t get the DBConnection from the application module.
    Now, I have a “data-sources.xml” in my project and the application module is configured to access the database from this xml file.

    I found the solution in other Forum. I worked ok.
    Here the code:
    If the Connections-Navigator connection is DBConnection1, the corresponding datasource is jdbc/DBConnection1DS.
    1. Create a JSP page.
    2. In the web.xml of the JSP add
    <resource-ref>
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/DBConnection1DS</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
    </resource-ref>
    3. In the JSP page obtain a connection with the datasource.
    InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
    javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/DBConnection1DS");
    java.sql.Connection conn = ds.getConnection();

  • How can I compact a MSAccess database with java?

    Hi.
    I have a question (Please Help!!!):
    How can I compact a MSAccess database with java-jdbc? Is it posible?
    Thanks

    MS Access database has a max length limitation of 2.14GB for Access 2000( 1.07G for Access 97), and won't recycle basically space for update/delete sql so tha it's a good idea to use MS Access database for program, which need update/delete frequent ly data. The programmers of HXTT Access(www.hxtt.net) are writing code for CREATE TABLE/DATABASE sql now. If you need a pure Java solution for PACK TABLE/DATABSE urgently in your project, you should send such a requirement to the Support page of www.hxtt.net so that they can schedule complementing such a fucntion. Otherwise, you should pack your databae manually or visit C++ code for Compact an Access Database Programmatically at
    http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/data/mfc_database/microsoftaccess/article.php/c4327/ , or use Easy Microsoft Access MDB MDE Compactor at http://www.easyhr.com.au/software/easy_mdb_mde_compactor.htm.

    Hi Alonso,
    You can make this change using BAdI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, method BBP_SC_CHANGE.
    In this BAdI you can manipulate this information since it is called in a lot of different points in the code during the creation of a SC.

    Thank you for coming through for me again, Bee! I really appreciate it. Yes, your suggestion worked.
    I think Twitter itself has a slowness problem, though, because even with the "Slow Script" message issue removed, Twitter still takes forever to search. I finally found a way to contact Twitter about this. They said it might be my system or speed, but I reassured them it was not, and they said they'd look into it on their end. Cross your fingers for me that Twitter fixes this glitch, won't you?
    Thank you again,

    Hi Jesus,
    You can add elements to your DDbyIndex like this:
    //Example: Popular un Dropdown by Index usando Nodos de contexto  
    // NODE[Card: 1..n, Sele:1..1]  Si es obligatorio;            ||    NODE[Card: 0..n, Sele:0..1]  Si no es obligatorio y se puede dejar en blanco
    //Assuming we created a node called "Source", with a string attribute called "Texto" binded to the dropdownbyindex
    for (int i = 1; i <= 101; i++)
         ISourceElement sourceElement = wdContext.createSourceElement();
           sourceElement.setTexto("Text number "+i);

    Please use the below code for DropDownByIndex Elements :-
    Suppose you have model node ABC and attribute xyz. Now you have created custom node CustNode and attribute CustAtt.
    ICustNodeElement  ele = null;
    if(wdContext.nodeABC().size > 0)

    Writelady,
    I do not know of any such option. I don't think that it is even possible at this time, however it doesn't mean that maybe sometime in the future Apple or someone else will make a way to do such as your request.
    I do however think that you should let Apple know your opinion if you have not done such yet. You can give them product feedback at the following link. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
    I hope that this helps,
