RMAN not logging error

edited Mar 17, 2014 12:00PM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 7 commentsAnswered

It is a normal behaviour for rman (Oracle 11) to abort without writing to a log file if it can't find a directory to back up to? Let say this case:

rman/backup

rman/log

rman should backup into /backup while write the log into /log.

/backup get deleted.

rman get run via crontab / script

Instead of writing a log into /log that it can't find a directory, rman just abort.

Is this a normal behaviour? I went into a problem recently that is more complex issue than above - which is merely an example, but to expect a log and not finding any making it harder that it should. It rman could just write to a log file that it can't find the directory would be nice.

Howdy, Stranger!
