Hi,
Is is possible to create unique save set names with Oracle backups
using
NMO and RMAN?
Our save set names are always the name of the rman script itself. For
example, when we run our level 1
backups, mminfo reports something like this:
vol001 client 05/07/07 257 KB full
RMAN:/oracle/rman/level1_test.rcv
vol001 client 05/07/07 9473 KB full
RMAN:/oracle/rman/level1_test.rcv
vol001 client 05/07/07 2561 KB full
RMAN:/oracle/rman/level1_test.rcv
vol001 client 05/07/07 83 MB full
RMAN:/oracle/rman/level1_test.rcv
vol001 client 05/07/07 8705 KB full
RMAN:/oracle/rman/level1_test.rcv
vol001 client 05/07/07 257 KB full
RMAN:/oracle/rman/level1_test.rcv
vol001 client 05/07/07 290 KB 9 index:client
How do we change it so the save set names are unique?
You need to use the format command within the RMAN script.
Our RMAN scripts has the format string as well. But the
save set names are named like the rman script anyway:

But why do you want to change the save set names? You dont restore
them yourself. RMAN requests them from the networker server in
case of restore/recovery.
Why use the format command if the save set names are still being named
according to the script name?
What is the format command accomplishing in that case?
I guess I'm still confused about why some people are able to get the
format command to custom name
the save sets, but some of us cannot? Why is it that everyone else whose
responded to this post can get
it to work, but we try, and it never does?
The reason I'd like to control the save set names is because while RMAN
is used to do the recovery,
it would be nice to have more meaningful save set names, especially
given that they all list with a
level full regardless of the backup level. Having more unique names just
makes things more intuitive
when I'm running mminfo to look at things, which I periodically do. For
example, I might want
to check the 'ssflags' and 'clflags' values for completed backups in the
last week. If everything has
the same name it just makes it harder to analyze it. Moreover, in
performing various backup/recover
tests in Oracle, I need to know what the previous backups were that we
ran. For example, we might
run a full and then several incrementals and then try to recover from
one of the older incrementals.
I run mminfo to see what we did. This might cover a period of several
days. It makes it harder to
delineate all the information if the save sets all have the save names,
especially given that they all
indicate level full.
