Not a silly question at all. I do have the guide and have gone through it but am having issues and was looking to see if what I was doing was correct that was why I sent for more information from the list. After looking over the guide again this could be environment variable issues on my end which I am ashamed to admit. Ill do a bit more due diligence and I appreciate the email Neil because I am not looking at 3 different pdf's for information and narrow down my search to just this one.
Data Protection for Oracle for UNIX Installation and User's Guide Version 5 Release 2 R. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Rasmussen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 10:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Linux; Oracle TDP; Client Schedular I know this might sound like a silly question - but have you read the DP for Oracle User's Guide. There is a whole section on setting up the scheduler with DP for Oracle. It walks you through all the steps for dealing with root user vs. Oracle user.
