@@

Syntax

Text description of the illustration atat.gif

Purpose

To execute a series of RMAN commands stored in an operating system file with the specified filename, for example, @@cmd2.rman. The @@ command is identical to the @ command unless it is used within a script. If contained in a script, then @@filename directs RMAN to look for the specified filename in the same directory as the command file from which it was called.

For example, assume that you invoke RMAN as follows:

% rman @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dba/scripts/cmd1.rman 

Assume that the command @@cmd2.rman appears inside the cmd1.rman script. In this case, the @@ command directs RMAN to look for the file cmd2.rman in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dba/scripts/.

Restrictions and Usage Notes

Execute at the operating system command line, at the RMAN prompt, or within the braces of a RUN command.

Example

Calling a Script Within a Script: Example

Assume that you create command files called backup_logs.rman and backup_db.rman as in the following example. Then, you execute bkup_db.rman from the command line, which specifies that RMAN should look for the bkup_logs.rman script in the Oracle home directory:

echo "BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL;" > $ORACLE_HOME/bkup_logs.rman
echo "BACKUP DATABASE;" > $ORACLE_HOME/bkup_db.rman
echo "@@bkup_logs.rman" >> $ORACLE_HOME/bkup_db.rman
rman TARGET / @$ORACLE_HOME/bkup_db.rman
