False

Named

False

Force

Defines that the cmdlet will overwrite the existing Oracle database files with the database files from the backup.

If you provide this parameter, the cmdlet will show no prompt before executing the command. Otherwise, the cmdlet will keep the existing version of Oracle database files.

SwitchParameter

Examples

Export-VEORDatabaseExample 1. [Windows-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 Windows VM.

$session = Get-VEORRestoreSession

$database = Get-VEORDatabase -Session $session[0]

$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 Get-VEORRestoreSession cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Mind 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. 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. [Oracle-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 an Oracle VM.

$session = Get-VEORRestoreSession

$database = Get-VEORDatabase -Session $session[0]

$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 Get-VEORRestoreSession cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Mind 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. Save the result to the $database variable.
  1. Get Linux credentials:
  1. Run the Read-Host cmdlet. Specify the Prompt parameter value. Specify 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.
  • Set the $linuxcreds as the LinuxCredentials parameter value.
