Creating Storage Checkpoints using dbed_ckptcreate
You can use the dbed_ckptcreate command to create a Storage Checkpoint from
the command line.
Storage Checkpoints can be either online, offline, or instant. By default, Storage
Checkpoints are offline. If online is specified, the database is put into hot-backup
mode when the Storage Checkpoint is created. If offline is specified, the database
is expected to be down. If instant is specified, the database must be online and
a Storage Checkpoint will be taken for a “crash recovery”-type Storage Rollback.
Before creating a Storage Checkpoint, the following conditions must be met:
■ You must be logged on as the database administrator (typically,
the user ID oracle).
■ For best recoverability, always keep ARCHIVELOG mode enabled
when you create Storage Checkpoints.
