Hi,

For online backup is it mandatory that the 'backup controlfile' be executed at the end of the backup process. I mean after all the tablespacess are backed up.
I've this statement in my unix script(Solaris)

Alter tablespace AJAPP begin backup;
host`cp /u01/datafiles/db/aj.dbf /bkp/datafiles/aj/aj.dbf` Alter tablespace AJAPP end backup;

does the oracle waits the copy to be completed before proceeds with the 'alter' statement. I'm getting invalid online backup. My doubt is here.

If i come out of oracle(svrmgrl) after alter begin statement and does a OS copy, backup is valid.

Any ideas?

Thanks
