Ron,
Try setting your environment variables in your test.sh script. I'm not a unix guru,
so I can't tell you why your profile isn't being used when the script is run from
cron, but my guess is that is what is happening.

list,
Cron server os RedHat 7.2
Database server os OpenVMS 7.3-1
Database Oracle 8.1.7 rel 3
Rman server os OpenVMS 7.3-1
Rman Oracle 8.1.7 rel 3
On the Cron server I have created a script that will backup the
database server and catalog the action on the rman server. When I try to
have cron perform the backup sctipt I get
RMAN-571 and LEM-00031, and LEM-00033 error message. According to
Metalink it is an environmental error that the oracle variables are not
set. I have set up my environment as follows:
file: /alphaprd/profile
ORACLE_HOME = cron server ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_BASE =cron server ORACLE_BASE
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = cron server LD_LIBRARY_PATH
TNS_ADMIN = cron server TNS_ADMIN
export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_BASE LD_LIBRARY_PATH TNS_ADMIN
Script to backup the database controlfile: test.sh
./alphaprd/profile
echo "start backup:" >/alphaprd/rman_test.log
/home/oracle/OraHome1/bin/rman <<EOF>> /alphaprd/rman_test.log
connect target "sys/password@database server"
connect catalog rman/rman@rman server
run {
allocate channel di type disk;
backup format
'orabck:[backups]control_%U.bus'
(current controlfile);
}
EOF
Crontab entry as ROOT:
10 01 * * 1 su oracle "-c /alphaprd/test.sh -u"
OR
Crontab entry as ORACLE
10 01 * * 1 /alphaprd/test.sh
The script functions properly if I run it from the command line as
oracle but fails with
RMAN-571 and LEM-00031 and LEM-00033 errors when run from cron.
I don't see how it could be Oracle environmentals when I am running it
as an Oracle cron and the target and catalog are on a different server
that the cron server.
Can you point me in the direction where I can get this resovled?
Thanks,
Ron
