Saving an export log

[joeythelips]

Hi,

I check my export log for an oracle database every morning.

its located in /u02/oracle/export/export.log.

The file is read only, but how can i move it to a floppy disk, for example?

If it's read-only, you can still copy it anywhere you have write permission.

Hi Joe,

If the floppy disk drive is on the same server where your oracle database is then no need to ftp the log file. Just mount the floppy drive and copy the log file to it. Use mount command like this ..
#mount -t<filesystem on floppy> /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

then, use cp command to copy the file.
#cp <fullpath of log file> /mnt/floppy/

then, unmount the floppy drive using,
#sync
#umount/mnt/floppy

I hope that's you are looking for,

regards,
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,

Unfortunately, the floppy is on my pc. I am using dos to get into the server

Joe,

Try this from dos prompt;
a:
ftp <server>
login to the oracle account
cd /u02/oracle/export
bin
hash
get export.log

Later!
