RE: Crontab ,HELP!!!

Hi Saroj,

You need to initialize the environment variables first in the cron file like ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME etc. Also you will have to provide the Full path of the executables One of the sample cron file is something like this:

banner BACKUP
echo STARTING DAILY BACKUP ON `date`.......... ORACLE_SID=pasi
export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_HOME=/u03/app/oracle/8.1.6; export ORACLE_HOME

/u03/app/oracle/8.1.6/bin/exp moh/hnh97 FULL=Y
FILE=/u06/oradmp/allmoh.dmp GRANTS=Y INDEXES=Y LOG=/u06/oradmp/allmoh.log

rm -f /u05/oracle8/arch/backctl
/u03/app/oracle/8.1.6/bin/svrmgrl << !

connect internal
alter database backup controlfile to '/u05/oracle8/arch/backctl' ; alter system switch logfile ;
exit
!
mt rewind
tar -cvp -f /dev/rmt0h /u06/oradmp/*
tar -rvp /u05/oracle8/arch/arc*
echo DAILY BACKUP COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY .... echo PLEASE CHECK FOR ANY ERRORS ......
mt rewind
mt offline
banner END-BACKUP

HTH,
Rajesh

Hello All,

      I want to run a Job using crontab scheduling.The job is running but
with error like sqlplus and svrmgrl not found.

   When I am using the crontab script then it gives some error ,like sqlplus and svrmgrl not found.

But ths same scripts manually working fine .

So please tell me is there any path will setup to run the crontab . I am running the crontab from oracle id ,not from root.

Please tell me what is the problem if i will run in orcale id. Where i will
give permission so that it will get the path of sqlplus and svrmgrl .

I am sending the out put of cron .Please see it and tell me.

our "cron" job on JLCSBLU1
/db/oracle/oradata/scripts/SIEBELBKUP/coldbkup

produced the following output:

Started Cold Backup For jlisuser Wed Feb  7 11:05:01 JST 2001
