Re: Creating Grid backup jobs through a script

I think to set credentials emcli can be used with its verb set_credential and you can easily generate the script for all targets

and if you use catalog RMAN scripts can be saved there and called after that.

As well as many targets can be added to the same job in EM GC and using variables there (for database name, host name, etc) the script will be executed depending on current database.

And multi-task jobs can add more complexity and flexibility
