Automate NetBackup utilities

The Veritas NetBackup utilities listed in this section can be set up to run automatically. A stored procedure can be edited to customize the list of utilities to be run as a background job on a particular schedule.

Windows: C:\opt\oracle\database\stored_procedures\nbu\setup_nbu_jobs_manual.sql

Linux: opt/aptare/database/stored_procedures/nbu/setup_nbu_jobs_manual.sql

All five are included in this file. To omit a particular utility from the scheduled job, use the following syntax before and after the block of code.

See Veritas NetBackup utilities.

In a text editor, open the setup_nbu_jobs_manual.sql file and modify the schedule to meet your needs. The following example illustrates how to edit syntax to customize the schedule.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -- Move clients that are in inactive policies
    -- Frequency: Every day at 02:30
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('setupInactivePolicyClients exists with default name '|| jobName ||
' hence will be removed and recreated.');
        DBMS_SCHEDULER.DROP_JOB(job_name => jobName);
        jobName := NULL;
    END IF;
    
    IF jobName IS NULL THEN
