NetBackup™ for Oracle Administrator's Guide

Creating XML export scripts manually

When the database agent was initially installed, the installation software wrote example scripts to the following locations:

  • For export:

    Windows:

    install_path\NetBackup\dbext\Oracle\samples\bporaexp

    UNIX:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/oracle/samples/bporaexp
  • For import:

    Windows:

    install_path\NetBackup\dbext\Oracle\samples\bporaimp

    UNIX:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/oracle/samples/bporaimp

The example export scripts that are installed in bporaexp are as follows:

Windows:

data_archiver_export.cmd

UNIX:

data_archiver_export.sh
data_archiver_export64.sh
bporaexp_help.param
bporaexp_partitions.param
bporaexp_table_to_files.param
bporaexp_tables.param
bporaexp_tables_rows.param

The example import scripts that are installed in bporaimp are as follows:

Windows:

data_archiver_import.cmd

UNIX:

data_archiver_import.sh
data_archiver_import64.sh
bporaimp_archive.param
bporaimp_archive_schema_to_files.param
bporaimp_archive_to_users.param
bporaimp_bfile_table.param
bporaimp_help.param
bporaimp_ignore_rows_table.param
bporaimp_large_table.param
bporaimp_list.param
bporaimp_old_archive.param
bporaimp_partitions.pram
bporaimp_table_from_files.param
bporaimp_table_to_files.param
bporaimp_table_to_user.param
bporaimp_tables.param

To use the example scripts

  1. Copy the example scripts to a different directory on your client. Oracle scripts can be located anywhere on the client.
  2. Modify each script for your environment.
  3. On UNIX, make sure that the su command logs into the correct user.

    If you do not include an su - user (user is Oracle administrator account) in your Oracle scripts, they do not run with the proper permissions and environment variables. The result is problems with your database backups and restores.
