Note: You can also define a parameter as an environment variable and as a parameter set by the send command in a RMAN script (for Oracle 9i, and 10g). To set a parameter in a RMAN script, enter the following:
run {
allocate channel dev1 type 'sbt_tape';
send "SBT_HOST=myhost";
send "SBT_USERNAME=oracle";
send "SBT_PASSWORD=nobodyknows";
...
}
If you set a value through a send command in RMAN, this value overrides any value specified in the sbt.cfg file or the equivalent environment variable. If you set a value as an environment variable, it overrides the equivalent value specified in the sbt.cfg file.
