RMAN Run Clause

Combine several RMAN commands into a single task, if any one command fails RMAN uses some intelligent logic and can abort the remainder of the combined task.

Syntax:

   RUN { 
     …
   }


Example

RUN
{
  ALLOCATE CHANNEL dev1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/fs1/%U';
  ALLOCATE CHANNEL dev2 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/fs2/%U'; 
  BACKUP 
    (TABLESPACE system,finance,marketing FILESPERSET 20)
    (DATAFILE 62,63,64);
}

Some commands are only valid inside a RUN block e.g. HOST commands and RMAN script commands - see the documentation for more on RMAN scripting.

The only way to screw up is to not try anything" ~ Tom Peters
