NetBackup™ for Oracle Administrator's Guide

Running bporaexp on the client as an Oracle user

As an Oracle user you can also run the bporaexp command (bporaexp64 on some platforms) from the operating system command prompt and specify a parameter file.

To run bporaexp on the client as an Oracle user

  1. Create a parameter file that specifies the settings that determine how the backup is to be performed. Information is available about the bporaexp parameters.

    See About bporaexp parameters.

  2. Run the following command to specify the parameter file:

    # bporaexp [username/password] parfile = filename | help=y

  3. Configure the runtime environment, because this method does not call the full script that includes the runtime configuration.

    On UNIX and Linux, check the sample scripts for runtime environment details.

    See About configuring the run-time environment.

bporaexp creates a set of XML schema and instance documents that can be used to archive Oracle table data. For each archive, one master XML schema (.xsd) document is generated. In addition, bporaexp generates a table-specific schema (.xsd) document and a table specific instance (.xml) document for each table. Additional files are created if the table contains LONG or LOB columns.
