Examples

Export-VEORDatabaseExample 1. [Windows-Based] Exporting Oracle Database Files from Backup

This example shows how to export a Oracle database files from a backup of an Oracle database that was created on a Windows machine.

$session = Get-VEORRestoreSession

$database = Get-VEORDatabase -Session $session[0] -Name "orcl"

$creds = Get-Credential

Export-VEORDatabase -Database $database -Path "C:\Users\Administrator.TECH\Desktop\delme_pu" -Server "Oracle_Server"

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VEORRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In our example, it is the first restore session in the array.

  1. Run the Get-VEORDatabase cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $database variable.
  2. Run the Get-Credential cmdlet. Save the result to the $creds variable.
  3. Run the Export-VEORDatabase cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
  • Set the $database variable as the Database parameter value.
  • Specify the Path parameter value.
  • Specify the Server parameter value.

Export-VEORDatabaseExample 2. [Linux-Based] Exporting Oracle Database Files from Backup

This example shows how to export an Oracle database files from a backup of an Oracle database that was created on a Linux machine.

$session = Get-VEORRestoreSession

$database = Get-VEORDatabase -Session $session[0] -Name "orcl"

$securepassword = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter password" -AsSecureString

$linuxcreds = New-VEORLinuxCredential -Account "root" -Password $securepassword

Export-VEORDatabase -Database $database -Path "C:\Users\Administrator.TECH\Desktop\delme_pu2" -LinuxCredentials $linuxcreds

Perform the following steps:

  1. Get the restore session:
  1. Run the Get-VEORRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In our example, it is the first restore session in the array.

  1. Run the Get-VEORDatabase cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $database variable.
  1. Get Linux credentials:
  1. Run the Read-Host cmdlet. Specify the Prompt parameter value. Provide the AsSecureString parameter. Save the result to the $securepassword variable.
  2. Run the New-VEORLinuxCredential cmdlet. Specify the Account parameter value. Set the $securepassword as the Password parameter value.
  1. Run the Export-VEORDatabase cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
  • Set the $database variable as the Database parameter value.
  • Specify the Path parameter value.
