About the environment variables set by NetBackup for Oracle

When an automatic schedule runs, NetBackup sets environment variables for shell scripts to use. These variables are set only if the backup is started from the server, either automatically by the NetBackup scheduler or manually through the administrator interface.

On UNIX and Windows, these variables can be used to perform conditional operations within the backup script.

Table: Variables that NetBackup for Oracle sets shows the variables.
