Shell script for RMAN backup

Hi,

I'm looking for Shell script for RMAN backup.
Moreover , if we should connect like this :
rman nocatalog target sys/password@myDB << EOF
backup as compressed backupset format '$savdir/ctl_%d_%T_%s_%p' current controlfile;
exit
EOFHow to avoid writting password in shell script ?
Thank you.

Hi all,
I have migrated database from 8i to 10gr2.For Backup in 8i, we used a RMAN shell script (scheduled uding cron tab) to backup the database to Tape.(VERITAS BACKUP).
I am new to 10G.I checked out the options to backup the database using Oracle Enterprise manager DB console.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/10gr2_db_single/ha/rman/rman_otn.htm#t1d
I am planning to take a test backup using the steps mentioned inthe above url.Could any one suggest whcih is the best option for database backup,eiether to use Oracle Enterprise manager DB console or thru RMAN shell script for backup..?

I woudn't suggest you to work with EM if you want to be a professional DBA. Start learning RMAN and use CLI instead of GUI

Shell script for export backup in oracle 11g

Hi,
Oracle version 11.2.0..
O/S-AIX
How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g and also need to remove 2 days of old backup.
Regards,
Raju

How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g
Do you mean that export is your backup strategy ? is your database running in noarchivelog mode ? if so, then why ? if not so, then why not RMAN ?
need to remove 2 days of old backup.
If that mean remove files older than 2 days, you can use something like this :
$ find <absolute directory path> -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;

write a ms dos script for rman backupImpossible. rman does not support MS-DOS. It is not a 16bit real mode application that can be run inside the MS-DOS operating system.
So get your terminology straight - the Windows console is a character based 32bit virtual machine. It is not MS-DOS. It never was MS-DOS. Do not confuse the two simply because of superficial similarities. A stick-it note can be yellow - but because it is yellow does not mean it is a banana.

Shell Script for automatic backup

Hello Every one,
We have windows network and sun solaris sparc box. (both from Sun Box and from Windows machine I can communcate using Telnet.)
I wish to take data backup of a system having windows operating system, into
the sun solaris sparc box automatically by week end .
Can anyone help me with the shell script which does this operation.
Regards,
Dwarak

first of all, is there nfs running? and on windoze box, do u have any nfs client program running?
you cant transfer files frm the windoze machine via telnet..
once you can settle the above, what you can do is a simple copy script and put it in your crontab.

What issue are you facing, exactly? You said:
"I wrote shell scriptevery thing is working like showning me names of datafiles
but now showing member of redo logs
and name of controlfile"
That's what the script looks like it's supposed to do. Did you mean to say "not showing member of redo logs and name of controlfile" instead of "now"?

Can anybody provide AIX shell script for Oracle Apps R12 instance backup

Hi
Can anybody provide AIX shell script for Oracle Apps R12 instance backup? Manually, i am able to backup but i donot have shell script to schedule through crontab.
Help me please.
Thanks

Rman can be used for Database, not for Application tier. Again, I assumed you are looking for a script to backup the database. For the application tier, you can simply do a filesystem backup.
I still do not understand your concern? Is it about using crontab? If so, then check here --> man crontab <--

Need Help in creating Unix Shell Script for database

Would be appreciable if some one can help in creating unix shell script for the Oracle DB 10,11g.
Here is the condition which i want to implement.
1. Create shell script to create the database with 10GB TB SPACE and 3 groups of redo log file(Each 300MB).
2. Increase size of redolog file.
3. Load sample schema.
4. dump the schema.
5. Create empty db (Script should check if db already exists and drop it in this case).
6. Create backup using rman.
7. restore backup which you have backed up.

This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site. Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code. But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours. There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

Best pratices for RMAN backup management for many databases

Dear all,
We have many 10g databases (>40) hosted on multiple Windows servers which are backup up using RMAN.
A year ago, all backup's were implemented through Windows Scheduled Tasks using some batch files.
We have been busy (re)implementing / migrating such backup in Grid Control.
I personally prefer to maintain the backup management in Grid Control, but a colleague wants now to go back to the batch files.
What i am looking for here, are advices in the management of RMAN backup for multiple databases: do you guys use Grid Control or any third-party backup management tool or even got your home-made solution?
One of the discussion topic is the work involved in case that the central backup location changes.
Well... any real-life advices on best practices / strategies for RMAN backup management for many databases will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Thierry

Hi Thierry,
Thierry H. wrote:
Thanks for your reaction.
So, i understand that Grid Control is for you not used to manage the backups, and as a consequence, you also have no 'direct' overview of the job schedules.
One of my concern is also to avoid that too many backups are started at the same time to avoid network / storage overload. Such overview is availble in Grid Control's Jobs screen.
And, based on your strategy, do you recreate a 'one-time' Oracle scheduled job for every backup, or do your scripts create an Oracle job with multiple schedule?
You're very welcome!
Well, Grid Control is not an option for us, since each customer is in a separate infrastructure, and with their own licensing. I have no real way (in difference to your situation) to have a centralized point of control, but that on the other hand mean that I don't have to consider network/storage congestion, like you have to.
The script is run from a "permanent" job within the dba-scheduler, created like this:
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
        job_name        => 'BACKUP',
        job_type        => 'EXECUTABLE',
        job_action      => '/home/oracle/scripts/rman_backup.sh',
        start_date      => trunc(sysdate)+1+7/48,
        repeat_interval => 'trunc(sysdate)+1+7/48',
        enabled         => true,
        auto_drop       => false,
        comments        => 'execute backup script at 03:30');and then the "master-script", determines which level to use, based on weekday from the OS. The actual job schedule (start date, run interval etc) is set together with the customer IT/IS dept, to avoid congestion on the backup resources.
I have no overview of the backup status, run times etc, but have made monitoring scripts that will alert me if/when a backup either fails, or runs for too long. This, in addition with scheduled disaster/recovery tests makes me sleep rather well at night.. ;-)
I realize that there (might be) better ways of doing backup scheduling in your environment, since my requirements are so completely different than yours, but I guess that we all face the same challenges in unifying the environments as much as possible, to minimize the amount of actual work we have to do. :-)
Good luck!

Shell scripting for sftp command

Guy's
you may wondering how i can ask these question in this forum,actually it's related to abap,we have create
unix script that will upload file from remote sftp server
and put it into AL11 transcation (take any location from
your point of view),but instead of using shell script
that is having ftp the want to go for sftp,for your undersatnding following thing's i am working with
Tcode:sm69,sm49
function module:SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE
script that need to have sftp instead of ftp
Connecting to ftp server to get the file on the current server
SOURCE_FILE_NAME=TSPAR_`date +%Y%m%d`.txt
TARGET_FILE_NAME=TSPAR_`date +%Y%m%d`.txt
cd /interf/torrance/TCW/FI
ftp -nv << EOF
open 10.252.8.73
user sanju sanju
cd /home/sanju
get $SOURCE_FILE_NAME
EOF
cp SOURCE_FILE_NAME TARGET_FILE_NAME
rm SOURCE_FILE_NAME
note:above script is working ,but we want' sftp not ftp
don't try above script as such,because value's are
changed for sake of security

Try to execute same command using your OS .
ksh + x ( is for debugging ) shell script and see where its failing . I also did the same thing in last project as i have written 5 different shell scripts , for backup , append file , sending file to FTP location and then create email ...
Hope thisll help you

Getting error while running script for online backup

Hi,
I am running a script for online backup but ended up with an the below error.
*ERROR* [Backup Worker Thread] com.day.crx.core.backup.Backup Failed to create temporary directory
Please help out in resolving this.
Thanks in Advnace.
Maheswar

Hi mahesh,
If you are using backup feature from crx console, I mean http://localhost:4502/crx/config/backup.jsp I can say that we had also some problems with this functionalities.
First off all what you need to check are the permissions, because when you check a source code there is line which creates a File object using a path specified by you to make a backup of repository.
File targetDir = new File(req.getParameter("targetDir", listDir.getParentFile().getAbsolutePath()));
You need to have sure that the proper read write access has been granted for this path.
Another issue is that maybe there was already prepared some hotfix if you are using CQ5.4. Please refer to the following link:
http://dev.day.com/content/kb/home/Crx/CrxSystemAdministration/CRXOnlineBackup.html
and also to this one:
http://dev.day.com/content/docs/en/crx/current/release_notes/overview.html which contains a hotfix number #34797 which was applied to backup.jsp file.

Shell script for archive log transfer

hi
I dont want to reinvent the wheel.
I am looking for shell script for log shipping to provide standby db.
What I want to do is, get the last applied archived log number from alert.log
Copy the files from archive destination according to this value.
Cheers

If you don't want to re-invent the wheel you use Dataguard, no scripts.
And your script should use the dictionary, instead of some bs method to read the alert.
v$archived_log has all information!
Also as far as I know, the documentation describes manual standby.
So apparently you not only don't want to reinvent the wheel, but you want the script on a silver plate on your doorstep!
Typical attitude of most DBAs here. Use OTN for a permanent vacation.

What are you trying to do exactly?
It's working but you have to put it in a loop. Fine, what's the problem you are having?
begin
loop
    exit when ... whatever the exit condition is ...
    dbms_file_transfer.copy_file(
