Appendix C. TDP for <strong>Oracle</strong> Version 2.2<br />

C.1 New fe<strong>at</strong>ures<br />

C.1.1 TDPO.OPT file<br />

The TDP for <strong>Oracle</strong> V2.2 code became available during the course of writing<br />

the redbook, so we were able to do some provisional setup and install<strong>at</strong>ion of<br />

this code. We have included the details in this appendix to highlight the new<br />

fe<strong>at</strong>ures.<br />

TDP for <strong>Oracle</strong> Version 2.2 is designed to take advantage of the following<br />

enhancements:<br />

The new tdpo.opt file for all options<br />

The duplex backup copy fe<strong>at</strong>ure<br />

The new TDP for <strong>Oracle</strong> utilities, TDPOCONF and TDPOSYNC (command<br />

line utilities)<br />

The multi-buffering of RMAN d<strong>at</strong>a transfers<br />

This fe<strong>at</strong>ure provides a centralized place to define all the options needed by<br />

RMAN for TDP for <strong>Oracle</strong> backup and restore oper<strong>at</strong>ions. This elimin<strong>at</strong>es the<br />

need to specify environment variables for each session, thereby reducing the<br />

potential for human error. This also simplifies the establishment of multiple<br />

sessions.<br />

C.1.2 Duplex copy (<strong>Oracle</strong> 8.1.x only)<br />

This fe<strong>at</strong>ure allows you to back up multiple copies of the same file to different<br />

media by assigning different management classes in the TDP for <strong>Oracle</strong><br />

options file for each backup copy.<br />

C.1.3 Configur<strong>at</strong>ion utility (TDPOCONF)<br />

This external executable helps run certain tasks to facilit<strong>at</strong>e setup and aid in<br />

troubleshooting setup scenarios. The tdpoconf utility uses the tdpo.opt file for<br />

its options.<br />
