    rman passing parameters

    I have the following script Note backup tag='FullBkup_&1'

    cat fullbackup.rman
    ===============

    rman < connect target sys/sys@GOLD_PRI
    connect catalog rman/rman@GOLD_PRI

    crosscheck Backup;
    crosscheck Archivelog All;
    run {
    SQL 'alter system switch logfile';

    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/oracle/backup/pri/control_file_%F';

    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 3;
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL t1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/oracle/backup/pri/fullback_%U';
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL t2 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/oracle/backup/pri/fullback_%U';
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL t3 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/oracle/backup/pri/fullback_%U';

    backup tag='FullBkup_&1' full database
    plus archivelog delete all input;

    release channel t1;
    release channel t2;
    release channel t3;

    }

    delete noprompt obsolete;

    EOF

    When I call the script like this (see below) the &1 does not expand to the date, which I passed in. Can somebody tell me what the problem is?

    fullbackup.rman `date +"%Y/%m/%d-%H:%M:%S"`


    RMAN> list backup;

    echo &1 before rman block and see what value it is taking.

    Thanks,

    Try hard to get what you like OR you will be forced to like what you get.

    When I echo $1 as suspected I get the value 2010/08/03-16:39:54
    when I echo &1 I get the value &1.

    Not surprised at tha.

    The problem is that the value is not being passed into the rman block. How
    do I do that?

    I know I can't do something like this this:

    rman $1 < bla
    bla
    bla
    EOF

    So how can I pass parameters into the block?

    capture the $1 into a parameter before RMAN block and use that parameter inside RMAN block.

    backup tag='$parameter' full database

    No need to capture it into a parameter rman will recognize $1 and expand it.
    I was under the impression that variables had to be in the format &

    my solution

    backup.rman `date +"%Y/%m/%d-%H:%M:%S"`


    backup.rman
    ===========
    rman < connect target sys/sys@GOLD_PRI
    connect catalog rman/rman@GOLD_PRI

    crosscheck Backup;
    crosscheck Archivelog All;
    run {
    SQL 'alter system switch logfile';

    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/oracle/backup/pri/control_file_%F';

    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 3;
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL t1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/oracle/backup/pri/fullback_%U';
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL t2 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/oracle/backup/pri/fullback_%U';
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL t3 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/oracle/backup/pri/fullback_%U';

    backup tag='FullBkup_$1' full database
    plus archivelog delete all input;

    release channel t1;
    release channel t2;
    release channel t3;

    }

    delete noprompt obsolete;

    EOF
