You can use the bpstart_notify.class_name.schedule_name and
bpend_notifyclass_name.schedule_name scripts that Veritas provides with
NetBackup do to this action.  As a matter of fact, that is the fist backup
option taught at the Veritas NetBackup for Oracle class.  The start script
goes out and shuts down the Oracle database, while the end script restarts
the database after the backup is complete.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] integrate shell script into netbackup policy
schedule


Hi all,

I just wondering myself, is it possible to integrate
shell script with netbckup? what I'm trying to do is,
to stop third party application like oracle before run
the backup. And start it up after backup finish. 

Or there is a better way to achieve this situation.
Anybody could give me some guideline, please?
