Silent Export [message #172180]

Hi folks,

is there a way calling export-utility in a script, so that the export doesn't stop for asking for wrong usr/pwd or file name, but instead writes into log file and returning exit code EX_FAIL?

Regards

Matthias

>> so that the export doesn't stop for asking for
You can use a parfile for that.
Have all your export options inside the parfile

oracle@mutation#exp  parfile=parfile.par
LRM-00110: syntax error at 'scott/wrongpassword'
LRM-00113: error when processing file 'parfile.par'

EXP-00019: failed to process parameters, type 'EXP HELP=Y' for help
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully

without parfile, export will ask for the password.

oracle@mutation#exp scott/wrongpassword owner=scott

Export: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production on Mon May 15 08:23:22 2006

Hi,

tahnk you so far. Tested it, but did not achive all I wanted:
Suppose script is called with usr, pwd and alias as params. Inside script you find the code:

echo "userid=$1/$2@$3" 2>&1 > par.dat
echo "file=../dumps/$1" 2>&1 >> par.dat
echo "log=../log/exp$1.log" 2>&1 >> par.dat
echo "statistics=none" 2>&1 >> par.dat
echo "grants=n" 2>&1 >> par.dat
echo "consistent=y" 2>&1 >> par.dat

exp PARFILE=par.dat

Having explicitly given the wrong path, export asks for it:

EXP-00028: failed to open ../dumps/usr.dmp for write
Export file: expdat.dmp >

How can this be suppressed?

Regards

Matthias

Aplogies.
I was wrong. Parfile will not work with anycase. My testcase was wrong.

Hi

Put a line like this in your script:

exec > /exportlog/export${ORACLE_SID}.log 2>&1

This redirects all output from exp.

Maybe kind of a late reply, but I just ran into the same question. As I world like to pick up the output of EXP and parse it for errors, I do not want to see the repeated username and password prompts in my log file. What I did was the following:

1. Create an empty dummy file: null
2. Use this as input on the command line:

$ EXP user/pass@instance param=... < null

Now EXP gets an EOF from the file and shuts up its mouth... Confused

Regards,

Paul
