Multiple Oracle DBs with one Config

brauntvr2swiss — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:35:16 GMT

Hi All

I have a Solaris Server with multiple Oracle DBs. Snapcreator runs on a Windows Server 2008 R2.

Now I want to Backup the DBs with one ConfigFile. With independend ConfigFiles the Backup runs:

CofigFile1 Oracle section:

ORACLE_DATABASES=NETAPP20:smo

SQLPLUS_CMD=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0/bin/sqlplus

CNTL_FILE_BACKUP_DIR=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP20/bkp_ctrl

ORA_TEMP=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP20/tmp

ARCHIVE_LOG_ONLY=N

ORACLE_HOME=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0

ORACLE_EXPORT_PARAMETERS=Y

CofigFile2 Oracle section:

ORACLE_DATABASES=NETAPP21:smo

SQLPLUS_CMD=/netappt21/ora00/product/10.2.0/bin/sqlplus

CNTL_FILE_BACKUP_DIR=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP21/bkp_ctrl

ORA_TEMP=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP21/tmp

ARCHIVE_LOG_ONLY=N

ORACLE_HOME=/netappt21/ora00/product/10.2.0

ORACLE_EXPORT_PARAMETERS=Y

How I have to consolidate this 2 config in 1 Configfile?

I have tried following two Ways, but both do not Work:

First Try:

ORACLE_DATABASES=NETAPP20:smo

SQLPLUS_CMD=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0/bin/sqlplus

CNTL_FILE_BACKUP_DIR=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP20/bkp_ctrl

ORA_TEMP=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP20/tmp

ARCHIVE_LOG_ONLY=N

ORACLE_HOME=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0

ORACLE_EXPORT_PARAMETERS=Y

ORACLE_DATABASES=NETAPP21:smo

SQLPLUS_CMD=/netappt21/ora00/product/10.2.0/bin/sqlplus

CNTL_FILE_BACKUP_DIR=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP21/bkp_ctrl

ORA_TEMP=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP21/tmp

ARCHIVE_LOG_ONLY=NO

ORACLE_HOME=/netappt21/ora00/product/10.2.0

ORACLE_EXPORT_PARAMETERS=Y

Second Try:

ORACLE_DATABASES=NETAPP20:smo;NETAPP21:smo

SQLPLUS_CMD=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0/bin/sqlplus

CNTL_FILE_BACKUP_DIR=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP20/bkp_ctrl

ORA_TEMP=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP20/tmp

ARCHIVE_LOG_ONLY=N

ORACLE_HOME=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0

ORACLE_EXPORT_PARAMETERS=Y

Both Configs generate following Error:

Could you try setting

ORACLE_HOME_NETAPP20=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0

ORACLE_HOME_NETAPP21=/netappt21/ora00/product/10.2.0

and removing

ORACLE_HOME=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0 from the config files.

It should be

ORACLE_DATABASES=NETAPP20:smo;NETAPP21:smo

SQLPLUS_CMD=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0/bin/sqlplus

CNTL_FILE_BACKUP_DIR=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP20/bkp_ctrl

ORA_TEMP=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP20/tmp

ARCHIVE_LOG_ONLY=N

ORACLE_HOME_NETAPP20=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0

ORACLE_HOME_NETAPP21=/netappt21/ora00/product/10.2.0

ORACLE_EXPORT_PARAMETERS=Y

Hi Justin

You are my hero of this friday :-)... Can I change the other variables too, eg:

ORACLE_DATABASES=NETAPP20:smo;NETAPP21:smo

SQLPLUS_CMD_NETAPP20=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0/bin/sqlplus

SQLPLUS_CMD_NETAPP21=/netappt21/ora00/product/10.2.0/bin/sqlplus

CNTL_FILE_BACKUP_DIR_NETAPP20=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP20/bkp_ctrl

CNTL_FILE_BACKUP_DIR_NETAPP21=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP21/bkp_ctrl

ORA_TEMP_NETAPP20=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP20/tmp

ORA_TEMP_NETAPP21=/data/ora99/arch1/NETAPP21/tmp

ARCHIVE_LOG_ONLY=N

ORACLE_HOME_NETAPP20=/netappt20/ora00/product/10.2.0

ORACLE_HOME_NETAPP21=/netappt21/ora00/product/10.2.0

ORACLE_EXPORT_PARAMETERS=Y

Thanks a lot

Thomas

I am afraid not . ORACLE_HOME_<DB> should do the job.

Yes with ORACLE_HOME_<DB> it works perfectly...
