I am hoping for some net wisdom here. We have a very large database and full disks, so we would like to do a direct to tape export. We are currently on Oracle v6.0.32 on a Honeywell DPX2.

The problem we have is that we can not do a direct to tape export from a parfile. There is a prompt for the volume and since this is not a keyword, it can not be included in the parfile. So we end up tying up a terminal because the export must be done in the forground.

The question: Is this different on other platforms? If not, has the problem been addressed in later versions and/or will it be different in v7?

Thanks in advance.
