Andy,

Thanks VERY much for that info.

I assume the syntax in the command line is the same as in the OPT file
plus leading dash:

-PRESCHEDULECMD 'cmd.exe /c "d:\Oracle\database\idevhotbackup.cmd" '

Is that correct?

Thanks again.

The problem is that OPTFILE is not a valid option in the schedule
definition. You can, however, include the PRESCHEDULECMD option in the
schedule definition.

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
