Customizing Oracle Backup RMAN Scripts

The Commvault software generates an RMAN script with the selected CommCell Console options. You can customize the script to include commands and parameters not supported in the CommCell Console. The Commvault software uses the customized script when you run the backup from the CommCell Console.

By default, the Commvault software does not use compression for Oracle backup sets. If storage is an issue you can customize the backup script so that it compresses the backup sets.

If you customize the RMAN script and a backup job fails, it will not resume from the point of failure. In this event, Commvault software starts from the beginning of the backup job instead of the point of failure.

Note

The first line of the RMAN script must be one of the following lines. There can be no trailing spaces after the "{".

If you want the Commvault software to parse and validate the script, use the following line:

run {

If you do not want the Commvault software to parse and validate the script, use the following line:

RUN {
