UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

It says RMAN command not found and SEED(database) not found. It is because my boss has shutdown the database. I will get back to the forum if i have any problem.

I modified the script but it is still giving me an error
exec>/u01/oradata/bkup_$$.log 2>&1
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=SEED: export ORACLE_SID
path="$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin"
rman target=/<<
EOF
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
STARTUP MOUNT
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch1 device type disk FORMAT
'/u01//oradata/ora/%U';
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
SQL 'ALTER DATABASE OPEN';} EXIT ;
EOF

In the log file it displays that /u01/oracle/product/10.2 is a directory and the next line it display that RMAN not found. I will appreciate your suggestions guys. I will be greateful.

You didn't use what I suggested:

this:

Code:

ORACLE_SID=SEED: export ORACLE_SID

should become:

Code:

ORACLE_SID=SEED; export ORACLE_SID

and, this:

Code:

path="$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin"

(as long as you don't use zsh) should be changed to:

Code:

PATH="$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin"

(Unix is case sensitive)

It would be easier if you post the entire script and output.

Do i have to specify .oraenv?

Try with ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and PATH for now.

Man you are genious.May god bless you. It works. I really appreciate your time and efforts.
