About this task

Unix and Linux: Data Protection for Oracle does not recognize environment variables that are specified in an RMAN script. The only environment variable Data Protection for Oracle recognizes in an RMAN script is the fully qualified path name to the tdpo.opt file. The TDPO_OPTFILE variable can be specified in either lowercase or uppercase in an RMAN script. Data Protection for Oracle uses the default tdpo.opt file in the installation directory if no path is specified.
