XML export archive data flow

NetBackup for Oracle users or automatic schedules start the database XML export archives. This operation is done by performing a manual backup of an Oracle policy, by invoking a script at the command line on the client.

For an XML export archive:

  • The NetBackup for Oracle script calls the bporaexp utility with a specified parameter file.

  • The query processor uses the parameters in the specified file to build an SQL query for each table.

  • Oracle's OCI API executes the queries on the Oracle database instance to be archived.

  • The query processor passes the output (including metadata and data for a single table or multiple tables) to the XML Generator.

  • For each table passed, the XML generator builds one or more sets of XML schema and XML instance documents.

  • XML data streams are backed up by NetBackup.

  • Alternately, bporaexp allows the files to be saved to an operating system directory.
