SMVI CLI & Environement variables

lagenevoise — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:08:00 GMT

Dear Community members,

I would like use in pre-post backup script (perl). used an environement variable.

I set in a script (perl or cmd) an environement variable.

I run my smvi command with -script myscript.

My pre/post script is running however in my pre/post backup script the seted environement variable is not set.

do you have a solution?

Some questions

1) Are you able to run the script in cli successfully?

2) Are you using environment variables as recommended in TR 3737?

Regards

Dear Amrita,

Yes I'm able to run smvi in cli

Yes I read this famous TR

But, I must use other ENV, for PM script after the SnapShot.

script (1)

SET MyVar=MyData

SMVI ..... -scripts post.script.pl or post.script.cmd

OK the script was running

But in my script

MyVAr is empty, because not define.

SMVI start is own environment

Regards

I am not sure what happened. ideally any script that works through the cli should work using SMVI pre/post script. Is the script that you have given the complete script that you were running through SMVI?
