This appendix provides information on sample scripts for AdvancedCopy Manager.
A sample script allows you to back up data on a transaction volume with AdvancedCopy Manager. The manager of the backup operation should customize the sample scripts according to their specific requirements and apply them to the backup.
Point
This section explains how the sample script is created for the backup management function. By using it as a reference when creating similar scripts for the replication management function, you can copy Oracle databases.
This document and the sample script show how to back up both of the drives on which all the physical data files in the table space in an instance to be backed up.
However, you can back up only one drive, with a table space to be backed up, by modifying the script.
A backup in AdvancedCopy Manager is performed in units of drives. If a drive with a data file in the table space to be backed up has data files in other table spaces, make an Oracle backup declaration for them also. To back up the SYSTEM table space shown in the figure below, for example, make Oracle backup declarations in all the five table spaces including other areas in the same volume.
A data file in the table space backed up without an Oracle backup declaration cannot be used for recovery because, even during backup, updating of the data file occurs and this generates inconsistencies.

Sample scripts provided for AdvancedCopy Manager are created on the assumption that the following versions of Oracle are used. If you use any other version, you will need to customize the sample scripts as required.
