Viewing database details

To view database details about a previously configured database, including enabled database options and whether prerequisites for the plug-in have been met, perform the following steps.

2
In the selection tree, open the applicable client node.

The Details dialog box displays the following information:
•
Database Name: Name of the selected database as identified in the NAME column of the sys.v$database v$ table.
•
DBID: Oracle® DBID for the selected database. DBID is the internal, uniquely generated number that differentiates databases and is required during the disaster recovery process.

Using RMAN Post-Backup Scripts

The plug-in provides a feature to run a script containing RMAN commands on completion of a backup job. For example, you can use this feature to perform an RMAN Repository crosscheck; this crosscheck ensures that data about backups in the RMAN Repository are synchronized with corresponding data in the NetVault Database by running a post-backup script that contains the appropriate RMAN commands. This functionality is designed for Oracle® DBAs with advanced RMAN and scripting experience.

Creating an RMAN Post-Backup Script

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Selecting the database when adding an RMAN Post-Backup Script is not supported. If you want to use an RMAN Post-Backup Script for the backup job, you might not be able to select the database node because it selects all subitems by default, including any predefined scripts. Before submitting the backup job, verify that only one post-backup script is selected.
1
In the Navigation Pane, click Create Backup Job, and click Create New next to the Selections list.
2
In the selection tree, open the applicable client node.
3
Double-click Plug‑in for Oracle, and select the applicable database.
4
From the Actions list, select Add RMAN Post-Backup Script.
You can also access this command as follows:
a
Open the database node.
b
Double-click the Post-Backup Scripts item, and select Add RMAN Post-Backup Script.
5
On the Add RMAN Post-Backup Script dialog box, enter the script details:
•
Script Name: Enter a name for the post-backup script. The script name must not contain the following characters:
•
Colon (:)
•
Exclamation point (!)
•
Pipe (|)
•
Comma (,)
•
Semi colon (;)
•
Equals (=)
•
Less than (<)
•
Greater than (>)
•
Left square bracket (])
•
Right square bracket ([)
•
Quotation mark (“)
•
Backslash (\)
An error message appears if you include these characters.
•
Script: Enter the RMAN commands, including the connection strings required for connecting to the target, Catalog, or auxiliary database used in the script.
•
Use ‘catalog’/Use ‘nocatalog’: Select whether the script connects to the Catalog with these options.

Click Save to store the script and close the dialog box.
