NetBackup™ for Oracle Administrator's Guide

Browsing XML export archives using bporaimp parameters

To use the bporaimp (bporaimp64 on some platforms) command to browse XML export archives created by using bporaexp (bporaexp64 on some platforms), create a parameter file with the desired search criteria. First, set the variables LIST=Y and USERID=username/. Only the archives created using the Oracle USERID are listed.

The Oracle password is not required. The operating system account that is running bporaimp has access only to archives that were created using the same account.

Note:

Only XML export archives created using NetBackup mode are searched. Exports stored in an operating system directory using the DIRECTORY parameter are not searched.

Use the NB_ORA_SERV and NB_ORA_CLIENT parameters to specify the NetBackup server and client. Otherwise, the order of precedence for the runtime configuration variable settings is used. You can also include the LOG parameter.

Information is available on the LIST, LOG, NB_ORA_CLIENT, NB_ORA_SERV, and USERID parameters.

See About bporaimp parameters.
