Running RMAN
As an Oracle user, you can run the rman command from the command prompt with the RMAN command file as a parameter. This topic describes how to set the primary server to hag and the Oracle policy to obk before you start the backup.
On Windows, RMAN functionality runs as a service, so use the send operand to set up the run-time environment. To start a backup using the rman command from the command prompt, type the following:
# send "'NB_ORA_POLICY=obk,NB_ORA_SERV=hag'" cmdfile \ "install_path\oracle\scripts\db_full_backup.rcv"
On UNIX, type the following at the command prompt:
# rman target 'internal/oracle@ORCL' rcvcat 'rman/rman@RCAT' # send "'NB_ORA_POLICY=obk,NB_ORA_SERV=hag'" cmdfile \ '/oracle/scripts/db_full_backup.rcv"
If you intend to connect to a database using a TNS alias, the RMAN send command specifies the environment variables. The example sets the primary server to hag and the Oracle policy to obk before you start the backup.
Note:
To run script files for database operations other than backups or restores, it is recommended that you run the rman command directly rather than NetBackup.
For rman command script syntax and examples, see your Oracle documentation.
