Bash Scripts for Oracle Data Pump

Basic bash scripts to backup a schema using Oracle Data Pump and send to remote location.

You will first need to create backup directory and grant read, write to schema:

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY backdir AS /opt/app/oracle/admin/orcl/dpdump

SQL> GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY backdir TO scott;

1. Export the Scott schema on a daily basis using Data Pump.

2. Create a log file of the Data Pump export

3. Add the date and hour of the export to to the file name and log file in the forms of : scott-yyyymmddhh.dmp. and scottLOG-yyyymmddhh.log

4. Use zip, tar or gzip to compress the dump file for easier FTP and/or mailing

5. Write the contents of the log file into the body of an email.

6. FTP the file or attach the file to the email and send it.
