This procedure applies only to the current tenant database and uses the following common parameters for RMAN tasks:

  • p_owner

  • p_directory_name

  • p_label

  • p_parallel

  • p_section_size_mb

  • p_include_archive_logs

  • p_include_controlfile

  • p_optimize

  • p_compress

  • p_rman_to_dbms_output

  • p_tag

For more information, see Common parameters for RMAN procedures.

This procedure is supported for the following Amazon RDS for Oracle DB engine versions:

        p_directory_name      => 'MYDIRECTORY',
        p_level               => 1,
        p_parallel            => 4,  
        p_section_size_mb     => 10,
        p_tag                 => 'MY_INCREMENTAL_BACKUP',
        p_rman_to_dbms_output => FALSE);
