Special Restore Destination Options for Oracle

The following options specific to the Catalogic DPX Block Data Protection for Oracle appear on the Restore Destinations Options dialog. These options can be set for each job definition.

Oracle Restore Mode

For Oracle logical view restores, determines whether to perform a regular restore, quick restore, or database clone. “Regular” is the default.

Regular	Perform a regular logical view restore.
Clone Database	Perform a cloning operation. Cloning recovers your backed up data on an alternate node by way of Instant Access.
Quick Restore	Perform a Quick Restore. Quick restore performs an Instant Access mapping to your backed up data.

Oracle Files Quick Restore Root Directory

Specify a complete directory path to use the root directory under which all mappings for Quick Restore for Oracle are done. If this value is not set, it defaults to one of the following:

• Microsoft Windows

  <product directory>/mount/BEXrmancat_jobid/nodename/dbname

• UNIX

  /tmp/BEXrmancat_jobid/nodename/dbname

Oracle Home

This option is used with cloning of Oracle databases. Specify the Oracle_Home on the target node.

Oracle UNIX User Name

This option is used with cloning of Oracle databases. If the target node is UNIX, supply the user name of the owner of the Oracle Installation on the restore destination node. If this field is not populated, the value oracle appears.

Oracle Instance Password

This option is used with cloning of Oracle databases. If the target node is Windows, to create an Oracle Instance on the target node, supply a password. If this field is not populated, the value sysadmin is used.

Note. The Oracle Instance Password may appear in clear text in certain files and modules. Therefore, once cloning is complete, the password must be changed by the user.

Oracle Database Open Option

This option is used with cloning of Oracle Databases. There are occasions when the cloned Oracle Database should not be opened or should be opened in read-only mode. This option can be used in those cases. One case where you may not want to have a cloned database opened is when you want to do further recovery of it.

Open Rest Logs

Opens Oracle Database with resetlogs option. This is the default.

Open Read Only

Opens Oracle Database in read-only mode.

Do Not Open

Does not open Oracle Database.
