Joe - quoting from Oracle RMAN Pocket Reference, p. 107 SPOOL (Oracle 9i only) Causes output generated from RMAN to be written to a log file. Syntax SPOOL LOG { OFF | TO filename } [APPEND][;] As for 817, you might try not logging the output, and run the script from a ksh (Unix) script, and send the standard out from that script to a file. Just an idea.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 10:14 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Ok i've been thru all of the 817 docs multiple times, searched metalstink, read the chapters in backup/recovery 101 multiple times. Where in the heck is the "spool" command for rman? Can i only spool stuff(and its an either to a file or to the screen, not both?) using the log parameter when starting rman. if I've started rman with out the log parm, there is no way to open a spool file? I'm currently stuck on 817 rman if that makes a difference. thanks, joe -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: DENNIS WILLIAMS INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
