create

Description

Creates a new backup resource and returns the information the caller needs to back up an on-premises Oracle Database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Note: This API is used by an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Python script that is packaged with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure CLI. Oracle recommends that you use the script instead using the API directly. See Migrating an On-Premises Database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure by Creating a Backup in the Cloud for more information.

Usage

oci db external-backup-job create [OPTIONS]

Required Parameters

--availability-domain [text]

The targeted availability domain for the backup.

--character-set [text]

The character set for the database.

--compartment-id, -c [text]

The OCID of the compartment where this backup should be created.

--database-edition [text]

The Oracle Database edition to use for creating a database from this standalone backup. Note that 2-node RAC DB systems require Enterprise Edition - Extreme Performance.

Accepted values are:

ENTERPRISE_EDITION, ENTERPRISE_EDITION_EXTREME_PERFORMANCE, ENTERPRISE_EDITION_HIGH_PERFORMANCE, STANDARD_EDITION

--database-mode [text]

The mode (single instance or RAC) of the database being backed up.

Accepted values are:

RAC, SI

--db-name [text]

The name of the database from which the backup is being taken.

--db-version [text]

A valid Oracle Database version.

--display-name [text]

A user-friendly name for the backup. This name does not have to be unique.

--external-database-identifier [integer]

The DBID of the Oracle Database being backed up.

--ncharacter-set [text]

The national character set for the database.

Optional Parameters

--db-unique-name [text]

The DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the Oracle Database being backed up.

--from-json [text]

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--pdb-name [text]

The pluggable database name.

Global Parameters

Use oci --help for help on global parameters.

--auth-purpose, --auth, --cert-bundle, --cli-auto-prompt, --cli-rc-file, --config-file, --connection-timeout, --debug, --defaults-file, --endpoint, --generate-full-command-json-input, --generate-param-json-input, --help, --latest-version, --max-retries, --no-retry, --opc-client-request-id, --opc-request-id, --output, --profile, --proxy, --query, --raw-output, --read-timeout, --realm-specific-endpoint, --region, --release-info, --request-id, --version, -?, -d, -h, -i, -v

Example using required parameter

Copy the following CLI commands into a file named example.sh. Run the command by typing “bash example.sh” and replacing the example parameters with your own.

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-like shell. You need to set up the OCI configuration and appropriate security policies before trying the examples.
