Sample backup scripts

Why use samples?

Every location has a different backup philosophy. Some installations are more mature than others. Some need guidance and some require you to fit into their structure. The backup method was developed based on the knowledge that no two locations are alike. Several sample scripts were developed that can be modified for a specific location. Or scripts that are developed at the location can be used as long as Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager requirements are met.

Sample script list

The samples that are developed to support Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager backup are in the extraTools directory of the shipped product. For example, extraTools/conf, extraTools/backup and extraTools/purgepart. These scripts continue to evolve and newer versions are available as time goes on. Search the sample scripts for ‘# Customize for given environment' to make changes for a given location. The list includes the following:

• logon.info
• PV_Tbsp_Alter_ReadOnly.ksh
• PV_Hot_Skip_Readonly.ksh
• PV_Readonly_Tbsp_Backup.ksh
• PV_Reset_Backup_Status.ksh
• PV_partition_purge.ksh

The PV_partition_purge.ksh script needs to be run as the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager DataMart owner (that is, pvuser) but the rest of the scripts must be run as the Oracle software owner (that is, oracle).
