including readable timestamp in RMAN backup pieces

[hrishy]

Hi

You can try using

RMAN> run{
host 'echo Backup stored in logfile (logrman.txt) taken on ->d:
\oracle\ora81\rmanbkp\rmandate.log';
host 'time /T>>d:\oracle\ora81\rmanbkp\rmandate.log';
host 'date /T>>d:\oracle\ora81\rmanbkp\rmandate.log';
}

This will produce a file that has -

Backup stored in logfile (logrman.txt) taken on -
16:57
05-Sep-2002





TIMESTAMP FOR UNIX
--------------------
To get time / date displayed during an RMAN operation the OS command (date)
should be used.

To display a timestamp in the RMAN log, run something similar to the following -

RMAN >run{
allocate channel a1 type disk
.
.
.
HOST 'date';
release channel a1;
}
Output looks like -

RMAN-03022: compiling command: host
Wed Jul 24 16:31:06 BST 2002
RMAN-06134: host command complete


Alternatively this also works

BACKUP DATAFILE 7 FORMAT 'c:\RMANBKUP\file7_%T_%s_%p';

-- Notice that we use %T for the date, %s for the backup set number,
-- and %p for the piece number.
