NetVault Plug-in for Oracle 12.3 - Release Notes

Improved support for using the CATALOG BACKUPPIECE and CROSSCHECK commands to verify that backup data is synchronized with the corresponding data in the applicable media for the RMAN repository. You can use CATALOG DEVICE TYPE SBT for checking backuppieces stored in System Backup to Tape (SBT) media.

DNPO-833, DNPO-1269 (OAG-867)

Updated the plug-in to create the path specified in the Auxiliary Destination field if it does not exist and you are performing a tablespace or table-level point-in-time recovery (PITR).

DNPO-1139

For the RMAN-based Files per Backup Set option, updated the defaults of the For Tablespaces/Datafiles and For Archive Logs settings from 0 to 1. If you are using deduplication, this improves the process by requiring the plug-in to complete the backup process in a specific order.
