Dell Avamar for Oracle 19.10 User Guide

Creating a taskflag file

With Avamar version 7.3 and greater, information about command line backups and restores for Oracle appears in the Avamar Administrator activity window in the same way as when these operations are started within the Administrator. This action requires the creation of a taskflag file. The taskflag file must then be invoked by the RMAN script using the --taskfile parameter.

1. Create a plain text file with a text editor called taskflag.txt.
2. Add the following entries to the text file:
   For example, If we would like to allocate 3 channels for backup, the script would be
   --no_of_channels=3
   --operation=backup

   where:

   • num is the number of multiple channels that are run in parallel.
   • operation is either backup or restore.
3. Save the file to /oracle or another convenient place in the search path.
   NOTE:With a taskflag file, for most avtar processes the logfile name is generated using the workorder ID from Management Console, and the --logfile parameter in the avtar flag file is ignored.
