• Identify the Oracle database user that will be used by Data Protector for backup.
This user must have the SYSDBA privilege granted. For example, it could be the
Oracle user sys, which is created during database creation.
See the Oracle documentation for more information on user privileges in Oracle.
• In case of the backup set method, if the Oracle database is installed on symbolic
links, create these symbolic links on the backup system too.
• If an Oracle 10g/1 1g automatic storage management (ASM) instance manages
files for more than one database, it is recommended to create a separate ASM
disk group for each database.
• From the application system, using SQL*Plus, connect to the target database and
recovery catalog by specifying the user, password, and net connect identifier.
Connect to the target database as the database administrator and to the recovery
catalog database as the recovery catalog owner.
Example
If the user name for the target database is system, password manager, net
service name PROD, and the user name and password for the recovery catalog
is rman and the net service name RMANCAT, then the commands will look like:
sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect system/manager@PROD as sysdba;
Connected.
SQL> connect rman/rman@RMANCAT;
Connected.
• For online backup only, enable the Oracle automatic log archiving:
1. Shut down the Oracle target database instance on the application system.
2. Back up the entire database using a filesystem backup.
