Scheduling RMAN script on windows

I want to schedule the following full database backup script to run every night at 10pm. Can anyone guide me how I can schedule it on windows OS but please don't suggest OEM as currently I have it scheduled thought OEM only.
run
allocate channel ch1 type disk format 'f:\backup\full_db_%D_%T.bak';
backup database;
}

You can try to use DBMS_SCHEDULER. Following messages should help.

Rman script in windows

hi .
I dont know how can i write RMAN script in windowse,
please help me.

Create a script, say backup.cmd : the following backs up the controlfile, entire DB, all archivelogs and deletes backed up archivelogs :
run { allocate channel d1 type disk;
configure controlfile autobackup on;
backup database plus archivelog delete input;
}then, at OS prompt
C:\> set ORACLE_SID=<your SID>
C:\> rman target /
RMAN> @backup.cmd

Scheduling Rman backup in windows

Hi all,
I need to configure backup in Rman using the task scheduler in windows. I have placed 2 scripts 1 is batch file and 2nd is sql file with the below contents. When i ran the batch file the process is only getting logged into RMAN prompt but not executing the sql statements, how can i schedule it?
Version: 9i
OS: Windows server 2003
Bat file

Can we schedule rman backup in windows platform??

My question is about my backup settings
the idea is to all on windows platform
a complete weekly backup (compressed backupset level 0)
a daily (comulative) incremental backup (same, level 1)
a hourly (differential) incremental backup (level1)
could you please tell me if the following examples will fit my needs,
thanks to you all

this scenario i wanna createYour certainly can if you choose to do so.
I think most people are content with a inc 0 once a week, an inc 1 the other 6 days. Daily backup of archivelogs, with deletion of archivelogs after 'n' backups. It really all depends on your service level (time to recover) requirements.

Using scheduler to directly execute rman script stored in recovery catalog

Hi everyone, I usually automate my rman backups using either cron or dbms_scheduler to call my rman scripts stored in a NIX sh file. Everything works fine but does anyone know how/if it's possible to call an rman script stored in the recovery catalog. Lets say I create a script in the catalog:
RMAN> create script showall
comment 'just an example for demonstration'
SHOW ALL;
Can I use dbms_scheduler to call that script directly? If so how and if not then how can I schedule this or any catalog stored script stored in the rman catalog. Searched all over the place but everything seems to point to having to leave Oracle to call either a .sh or .bat file.
Regards,
Dave

Hi Greg, think you are definately on the right track mate. Based on what you put I found this at:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/12c/scheduler-enhancements-12cr1.php
It has the entire rman script in the pl/sql block but going to see if I can modify what's on that page and use what you put so instead of executing the entire script it will run something like:
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB(
job_name => 'RMAN_SHOW_ALL',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => 'RMAN TARGET / CATALOG rman/password@ your_cat run {execute script showall;}'
END;
Or something similar with times etc for execution if possible as the mechanics are the same. Believe though that using the job_action parameter will be the answer and allow me to automate my daily etc backups at night.
Will let you know once it's done and mark as correct answer.

Scheduler with RMAN script

hi,
i have the following RMAN script:
/*daily.sh*/
run {
allocate channel ch1 device type disk format '/rman/%d_%T_%p_%U' maxpiecesize 1G;
backup
incremental level 1 cumulative
database
plus archivelog delete input;
backup current controlfile;
backup spfile;
release channel ch1;
and also have the following scheduler script:
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB(
job_name=>'BDOFFICE.INC_BACKUP',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action =>'/office/u01/daily.sh',
start_date=>'28-NOV-06 02.18.00 PM',
repeat_interval=>'TRUNC(SYSDATE+1)+14/24',
/* after 1 days at 1:00 PM */
comments => 'daily backup');
END;
how can i integrate these so that scheduler run the script automatically.
plz give me the steps with example.
thanks

You can use the dbconsole to schedule your backup script. It is quite easy and you can have it show you the sql used to create the job.

RMAN script gives error when scheduled

Hi,
I have this rman script....
run {
allocate channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=TPRD,OB2BARLIST=test TPRD)';
backup incremental level <incr_level>
format 'test TPRD<TPRD_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
database;
backup
format 'test TPRD<TPRD_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
archivelog all;
backup
format 'test TPRD<TPRD_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
current controlfile;
When this script is executed to run at the present moment, it gives no problems. However, when this script is scheduled and when executed at the scheduled time, it gives the following error:
RMAN> CONNECT TARGET *

Does anyone know what the problem is and why it only gives the error when it is scheduled and not otherwise?
Thanks in advance.

Hi user629987,
The error comes from the following line
backup incremental level <incr_level>(found "format": expecting one of: "equal, integer"
see link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96565/rcmsynta9.htm#78484)
Can you replace it with
backup incremental level 0and retry?
Might be you have to adjust your format string to avoid <, > and : characters.

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,
Nirmal

Automate RMAN backup on windows

I am working on automating RMAN backup on windows, how i can do that , I know dbconsole do that but its not working for me at moment.....
Step by step, scripts & windows scheduler would help

make cmd script and schedule it with Windows Scheduled Tasks.

Schedule rman using cron job

I have scheduled a cron job to take rman backup of database everyday at 4PM. But I see that the empty backup.log file is getting generated while the script is not running. If I run the backup.sh script manually then the backup is running fine. The following are the scripts and the crontab details,
backup.sh script is as follows,
cd /u01/app/oracle/rmanbkp
rman target / <<EOF
run
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/u01/app/oracle/rmanbkp/%d_%T_%s.bak';
backup database;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
EOF
while the output of 'crontab -l' is
00 16 * * * /home/imsoracle/backup.sh > backup.log
Backup is not happening, what is wrong in my settings. Please advise.

Dear $ami Malik,
There is another option that you can use for RMAN scripting as shown below;
0 2 * * 2 export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/ ;
/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/rman cmdfile /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/RMAN/backup_full.sh
log /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/RMAN/backup_full.log
vals2:/home/oracle#cat /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/RMAN/backup_full.sh
connect target sys/password@optprod
backup database format '/db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/backupset/DB_FULL_%d_%t_%s_%p';
backup archivelog all delete all input format '/db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/backupset/ARC_%d_%t_%s';
exit;So you can construct such backup strategy with the cmdfile and log options of the recovery manager.
Hope That Helps.

RMAN script doesnt exit shell after backup

Hi,
I've the following script on AIX 6.1, Oracle 11.2.0.1.0:
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/medprod/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
export ORACLE_SID=MEDPROD
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LOG_DIR=/home/medinous/backup/logs
export LOG_FILE=$LOG_DIR/medprod_daily_backup_`date +%d%m%Y%X`.log
rman target / catalog rman/rman@rman log=$LOG_FILE <<EOF
execute script medinous_daily;
exit;
EXIT;
EOF
and:
printing stored script: medinous_daily
+{+
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)';

crosscheck backup;
delete noprompt obsolete;
delete noprompt expired backup;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
release channel t1;
release channel t2;
release channel t3;
+}+
For some reason, the rman script, scheduled via crontab doesn't exit after successful backup, the process just remain alive, even though there's an explicit exit command at the end.
Any idea?
dula

No, the script actully executes successfully. The problem is that after executing, the process does'nt die, it doesnt exit rman:

RMAN script failed while creating Data Guard 11g

Hi Friends,
I am creating Physical Standby (11g) using RMAN (ACTIVE) on windows using the doc : Step by Step Guide on Creating Physical Standby Using RMAN DUPLICATE...FROM ACTIVE DATABASE [ID 1075908.1]
The folder structure on Primary DB and on Physical Standby is totally different.
while executing RMAN script i got errors for lot of locations and i specified the proper location in RMAN script itself (ex set diagnostic_dest = 'c:\app\' , set db_recovery_file_dest='C:\app\flash_recovery_area')
Location of control files on Primary DB:
D:\oradata\MESSTG\CONTROL01.CTL
D:\oradata\flash_recovery\messtg\MESSTG\CONTROL02.CTL
Location of control files (planned) on Physical Standby DB:
C:\app\oradata\MESSTDBY\CONTROL01.CTL
C:\app\flash_recovery_area\MESSTDBY\CONTROL02.CTL
How to specify control file location of Physical standby in set control_files?
Also i have 2 control files on Primary DB so do i need to specify both the control files , if so how?
I tried different combination in RMAN script but all are failed:
set control_files='D:\oradata\MESSTG\CONTROL01.CTL','C:\app\oradata\MESSTDBY\CONTROL01.CTL'
RMAN Error is :

Hi,
Can you paste here you rman script ?
I think following script can help you.
duplicate target database for standby
from active database
spfile
set "control_files"="d:\oradata\<standbydbuniquename>\CONTROL01.CTL"
set "db_name"="<DBNAME>"
set "db_unique_name"="<STANBYD DBA UNIQUENAME>"
set "db_file_name_convert"="C:\app\oracle\oradata\<dbname>","d:\oradata\<standbydbuniquename>"
set "log_file_name_convert"="C:\app\oracle\oradata\<dbname>","d:\oradata\<standbydbuniquename>"
set "db_recovery_file_dest"="D:\fast_recovery_area"
nofilenamecheck;C:\app\oracle\oradata\<dbname> - it is primary database dafiles location
D:\oradata\<standbydbuniquename> - it is standby database datafile location.
Don't forget creation of diagnostinc dests.

Scheduled Database Scripting

I have an oracle 10g database and I want to setup a scheduled task on the Windows server that scripts the entire database (including schema, packages, data etc) to a text file. I do not want a database export and backup but a database script.
Can you please advise how to proceed with this?

DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL
Something like
DECLARE
CURSOR csr IS
SELECT object_type
, object_name ,owner
FROM All_Objects
WHERE object_type IN ('SEQUENCE',
'PROCEDURE',
'DATABASE LINK',
'PACKAGE',
'PACKAGE BODY',
'MATERIALIZED VIEW',
'TABLE',
'INDEX',
'VIEW',
'FUNCTION')
AND owner = 'FASTADM';
out UTL_FILE.file_type;
BEGIN
FOR c IN csr LOOP
out := UTL_FILE.fopen('DATAPUMP_DIR',c.object_name||'_'||c.object_type||'.sql','W');
UTL_FILE.put_line(out, DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl(c.object_type, c.object_name,c.owner));
UTL_FILE.fclose(out);
END LOOP;
END;

Getting the RMAN scripts triggered from OEM ?

RDBMS Version : 11.2.0.3/RHEL 5.4
In our shop, Level 0 , Level 1 scripts are triggered from OEM. I am not an OEM guy :). Is there any way I could retrieve the RMAN scripts used to perform L0 and L1 backups ?

Hi,
Connect to EM.
Go to Availability tab, go to Schedule Backup menu under Manage.
There you can see: Backup Jobs link.
You can remove or edit this jobs.
