Executes a backup plan file previously created with the RMU
Backup command (or created manually by the user).
1 – Description
A backup plan file is created when you execute an RMU Backup
command with the Parallel and List_Plan qualifiers. See Backup
Database for details on creating a plan file and the format of a
plan file.

3 – Parameters
3.1 – plan-file-spec
The file specification for the backup plan file. The default file
extension is .plan.
4 – Command Qualifiers
4.1 – Execute
Execute
Noexecute
The Execute qualifier specifies that Oracle RMU is to execute
the plan file. The Noexecute qualifier specifies that Oracle RMU
should not execute the plan file, but instead perform a validity
check on the contents of the plan file.
The validity check determines such things as whether the storage
areas names assigned to each worker executor exist.
By default, Oracle RMU executes the backup plan file when the RMU
Backup Plan command is issued.
4.2 – List Plan
List_Plan=output-file
Specifies that Oracle RMU should generate a new plan file and
write it to the specified output file. This new plan file is
identical to the plan file you specified on the command line (the
"original" plan file) with the following exceptions:
o Any user-added comments in the original plan file do not
appear in the new plan file.
o The new plan file is formatted to match the standard format
for RMU Backup plan files.
5 – Usage Notes
o To use the RMU Backup Plan command for a database, you must
have the RMU$BACKUP privilege in the root file access control
list (ACL) for the database or the OpenVMS SYSPRV or BYPASS
privilege.
o To execute the RMU Backup Plan command, Oracle SQL/Services
must be installed on your system.
6 – Examples
Example 1
The following example first creates a plan file by issuing an
RMU Backup command with the Parallel and List_Plan qualifiers.
Oracle RMU does not execute the plan file because the Noexecute
qualifier is specified. The second command issues the RMU Backup
Plan command to execute the plan file created with the RMU Backup
command.
$ ! Create the Backup plan file:
$ !
