Cheers Mark,
Although the client in question is Oracle, I have other
Servers that need specific tasks to be run but again, the problem I have is they
are all in policies to allow multiple Data Streams.
I will take a look at this Parent end scripts to see if
they do anything for me.

If you backup the database with only one image,
the bpstart/bpend_notify will work.
However, bpend_notify does run with every image completion,
as you've found so it's no good for multi-image backups. bpstart_notify
also runs with every image starting up so your preparation script might run more
than once (OK if it checks state when it runs, perhaps, "If NOT down, then
SHUTDOWN"). There's also lots of issues when your jobs run sequentially
rather than in parallel, various race conditions, and all sorts of other painful
stuff.
Look at the parent_end_notify & parent_start_notify
scripts. The run at the beginning of a multiple image job. Some of
the early documentation said they run on the client - they don't - they run on
the master server only. If you want to perform a client task, you'll have
to "ssh" from your master to your client.
Unfortunately, most solutions for pre- and post-
multi-image jobs stink.
The classic oracle solution is to use the oracle agent, of
course. Do you have a license for it? If so, create an oracle
job. The "include" list is the batch file than runs the RMAN script.
The one schedule triggers the RMAN backup to a UBAK (called "Application"
in this case) schedule located in the same policy. Works great &
RMAN takes care of the heavy lifting.
If you don't have an oracle license, you can run a batch
job from the scheduler to shutdown the database, run "bpbackup -w" to a
user-backup schedule with a filelist for the oracle directory(s), then start the
database again from the same batch script.

When
we had a client with Oracle we used bpstart_notify and bpend_notify to bring
down the Oracle service and then bring it back up. It works like a
charm.

Scripts on Backup Jobs with Streams
Hi
All
In a NBU
5.1 MP5 environment, I have client machines that require Oracle to be taken
down.
the
client backup is in an existing policy with many other Windows Systems.
The
policy allows for streams.
Problem
I am seeing: Although for this client, the Services STOP when the job begins,
the post job starts the minute one of the smaller streams
complete.
What I
want to do, is allow the post job to run once ALL streams for this client has
completed. I found this document: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/274059.htm which I
have been running through for tests. Now, I am wondering if I should be calling
a different command for this like session_notify.cmd or
bpend_notify.bat?
Essentially,
what I want to be sure of, is when the complete Full or INCR backup completes,
the relevant service I stopped earlier is restart only when everything is
completed.
I have
got Scheduled Tasks to run for the time being, but any pointers, would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Regards
Simon
