Hello,
On unix side, I have written below script for taking backup. But when I tried to execute it - i found some hiccups while trying to run sql commands from unix.
Please suggest
------------------------
$ more bkp.sh
#!/bin/ksh
# make sure database is shutdown cleanly
sqlplus '/ as sysdba' <<eof
{
shutdown immediate;
startup force dba pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init.ora;
shutdown immediate;
}
exit;
eof
#Mount the database and start backup
run {
startup mount pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init.ora;
}
# Backup datafile, controlfile and archivelogs
rman target=/ << EOF
RUN {
allocate channel ch1 type
disk format '/u00/oradata/backup/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p_%t';
backup database include current controlfile
tag = '1_daily_backup';
release channel ch1;
}
EXIT;
EOF
# Open the database
run {
alter database open;
}
# Archive all logfiles including current
run {
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
}
# Backup outdated archlogs and delete them
rman target=/ << EOF
RUN {
allocate channel ch1 type
disk format '/u00/oradata/backup/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p_%t';
backup archivelog
until time 'Sysdate-2' all
delete input;
release channel ch1;
}
EXIT;
EOF
# Backup remaining archlogs
rman target=/ << EOF
RUN {
allocate channel ch1 type
disk format '/u00/oradata/backup/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p_%t';
backup archivelog all;
release channel ch1;

}
EXIT;
EOF
------------------------

Thank you!

>i found some hiccups
The cure for hiccups is to drink a glass of water while holding your nose.

Thanks ... I had some water also.

Please advice - What is wrong in the piece of code? I am not able to execute sql statements from unix.

Thank you!

>What is wrong in the piece of code?
I give up. What is wrong in the piece of code?
You have posted NO error;only vague statement that you think something is wrong.
You have seen the results & don't know what is wrong.
We don't know what happens & yet you expect us to give you a solution when we don't know what happens when code is invoked.

You're On Your Own (YOYO)!

Ok - I get what was wrong in the script. I was running sql commands within run { } , i have modified and kept all sql statements within sqlplus '/ as sysdba' <<eof
{ ... } and all the rman related commands under rman target=/ << EOF
RUN { ... }

The script looks to be working fine now - Thanks. Except one below error in below piece:
sqlplus '/ as sysdba' <<eof
{
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
}
exit;
eof

Error is:
SQL> SP2-0042: unknown command "}" - rest of line ignored.

Since when are "{" and/or "}" valid within SQL*Plus?

Thanks - The problem is resolved now and I learn that in unix script style - SQL commands dont require parenthesis and will run as below:
sqlplus '/ as sysdba' <<eof
alter database open;
ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
exit;
eof

Thank you for the hints. Could you please share the script for open database and cold/hot backup's restoration?

Thank you!
