Important netbackup files and directories on a typcial unix server:
/usr/openv/netbackup/version --> displays the netbackup version
/usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf --> displays important settings such as SERVER, MEDIA_SERVER, CLIENT_NAME
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/user_ops/dbext/logs --> log files for rman backups
Example of bp.conf
SERVER = backupserver1.mydomain.com
MEDIA_SERVER = server1-bkp.mydomain.com
CLIENT_NAME = server1-bkp.mydomain.com
REQUIRED_INTERFACE = server1-bkp.mydomain.com
Note that the CLIENT_NAME used above translates into the NB_ORA_CLIENT typically used in when sending backups to tape using Netbackup:
NB_ORA_CLIENT=server1-bkp.mydomain.com

How to save a value in a bind variable
Useful for tracing or explaining queries that use bind variables:
connect scott/tiger
var leom char(10);
var eod char(10);
exec :leom := to_date('30.09.2013','DD.MM.YYYY');
exec :eod := to_date('31.10.2013','DD.MM.YYYY');
SELECT col1, col2 ....col n
FROM TABLE1
WHERE START_DATE <= :eod
AND END_DATE <= :leom;

How to use the DUPLICATE ... FOR STANDBY command to create a physical standby database
run {
allocate auxiliary channel t1 type sbt PARMS="BLKSIZE=1048576" maxpiecesize 32G maxopenfiles 64;
allocate auxiliary channel t2 type sbt PARMS="BLKSIZE=1048576" maxpiecesize 32G maxopenfiles 64;
send 'NB_ORA_POLICY=mypolicy,NB_ORA_CLIENT=myclient-bkp.mydomain,NB_ORA_SCHED=my_schedule';
allocate auxiliary channel aux1 device type disk;
set until logseq=l2345 thread=1;
duplicate target database for standby dorecover;
release channel t1;
release channel t2;
}
Note that the parameters db_file_name_convert and log_file_name_convert must be set in order to use this simplified syntax.If not, you must specify file location for all the involved files and redo log members.
