Editing default options for the ingest method for Oracle databases
Velocity Help
The ingest_dba application ingests an Oracle database to the NFS export path on the Velocity Storage Server. You can edit the default options in the ingest_options.json file to customize the ingest_dba application for your environment or to customize a specific backup.
If you create a custom parameter file to control the startup behavior of a sandbox, use the ingest_options.json file to specify the location of the custom parameter file. When a database is ingested to Velocity, the custom parameter file is stored with the database copy. Then, the custom parameter file is automatically applied to a sandbox when it is created from the database copy.
For any changes to take effect, edit the ingest_options.json file before you run the ingest_dba application.
To edit the default options for the command-line ingest method for Oracle
Use your preferred text editor to open the ingest_options.json file, which is located at the root of the NFS export path on the Veritas Velocity Storage Server.
Graphical editors are not supported.
Edit any of the following options:
To change the name of the folder where the log files for the ingest_dba script are stored
For the LogPath attribute, type the full name of the folder.
The default value is /var/tmp/velocity/log.
To change the number of seconds to wait until the snapshot of the ingested data times out
For the SynchronousSnapSeconds attribute, type the number of seconds.
The default value is 1800 seconds.
To change the storage type for source ASM databases to be ingested to file system storage
For the StorageType attribute, change the setting to "FS", including the quote marks.
This attribute applies only to databases that are on ASM.
This attribute does not affect the databases that are stored in file systems.
The default value is "ASM".
To change the number of RMAN channels to allocate
For the ChannelCount attribute, type the number of RMAN channels to allocate.
If you have not configured channel parallelism, or if you have configured it to use a single channel, then the default value for this option is used.
The default value is 4.
The minimum value that you can specify is 0. If you enter a value less than 0, then the default value is used.
The maximum value that you can enter is 25.
To specify the location of the custom parameter file
For the CustomPFilePath attribute, type the location of the custom parameter file on the Oracle Database server from which the database ingest is run.
The default value of the folder is
/var/tmp/velocity/pfile.
