Hi,
With the help-it database in production, I was checking the logs to see
that it is backed up.
The first thing I noticed is that the database is not being shutdown.
The shutdown_database script executes do_oracle, where it should be
executing do_dbora. The help-it machine does not have a
/sbin/init.d/oracle, but does have a /etc/init.d/dbora. I would like to
switch the TRUE and FALSE for these two items?
This had been working at one time. It looks like the script was replaced
on October 14, 1997 (last mod date). One concern is that if we make this
change, the script may get replaced at a later time.
The perform_backup logs say the backup occured, so, it appears this occured
without shutting down the database.
Anyway, you may want to confirm my findings.
Thanks,
..Steve
