Create bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts for an Oracle Intelligent Policy (OIP)

Optionally for an Oracle Intelligent Policy (OIP) you can create custom bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts. An OIP ignores the generic bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts. The scripts only work with the options Protect non-RAC databases and pluggable databases and Protect RAC databases and pluggable databases.

For more information about the bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts, refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II.

To create the scripts

Locate the generic scripts.
The generic bpstart_notify or bpend_notify scripts reside on the server. The location varies by platform:
- UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/
- Windows: Install_path/NetBackup/bin/goodies/
Copy and edit the scripts.
For an OIP, the scripts must include the .policyname or .policyname.schedule suffix or the script does not run at the start or end of the policy.
Rename the scripts.
Examples of renamed scripts:
UNIX:
bpstart_notify.oip_instance1
bpend_notify.oip_instance2.full
Windows:
bpstart_notify.oip_instance1.bat bpend_notify.oip_instance2.full.bat
Place the scripts in the NetBackup bin directory on the client:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\
For RAC OIP backups the bpstart_notify and the bpend_notify scripts must reside on all Oracle RAC nodes.
