About XML export templates and shell scripts

The following sections describe XML export templates and shell scripts. The templates and scripts are as follows:

Templates. The NetBackup for Oracle XML export wizard creates XML export templates. This wizard is initiated from the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.

The NetBackup for Oracle XML export wizard does not support all of the parameters that the command line utility bporaexp provides. You can write a shell script if a template does not provide all of the required functionality.

Shell scripts. The user writes the shell scripts. They must conform to the operating system's shell syntax. Sample XML export and import shell scripts are installed on the client with the NetBackup for Oracle agent. Modify these scripts to meet your individual requirements.

NetBackup for Oracle also provides a utility, bpdbsbora, that can generate a shell script from an XML export or import wizard template. A user can then create a template with the wizard and generate a shell script from it. The user can run or modify the shell script.
