I am having a hard time understanding where this "Oracle Agent" comes from. I have searched the Oracle web site and the closest thing I can find is called "Oracle Intelligent Agent" and to top it off there doesn't seem to be any logical connection between that product and backups - especially unattended backups.

If there really is such a thing as Oracle Agent then why does Oracle make it so difficult to find out about what it is and how to use it? Received on Tue May 23 2000 - 00:00:00 CEST
