Re: [Veritas-bu] Pre / Post Scripts on Backup Jobs with Streams

Hi Ed

I have used "ST" before, not just for Oracle, but other tasks. There is no real risk here and yes fully understand why agents are out there, but if the business accept the risk, then they have to accept the consequences!

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.

Don't even go there. This is a very risky situation and if you're not really, really, really, really careful you will leave your databases down when the backups are done/failed.

That's why Symantec sells Oracle agents.
