In the example below, I am backing up 3 jobs in 2 batches as follows:
- On its own
- 2650_FullBackup_6Stream_4week_ret.arc
- The following two in parallel
- 2650_FullBackup_2Stream_4week_ret.arc
- TD_5550_FULLBACKUP_4STR.arc
Run this from the command line like this:
/usr/local/bin/run_tara_job.ksh DEBUG=0 JOB_NAME=2650_FullBackup_6Stream_4week_ret.arc#:2650_FullBackup_2Stream_4week_ret.arc:TD_5550_FULLBACKUP_4STR.arc# >/var/misc/log/run_tara_job.log 2>&1
Or set up a cron job like this:
0 19 19 7 * /usr/local/bin/run_tara_job.ksh DEBUG=0 JOB_NAME=2650_FullBackup_6Stream_4week_ret.arc#:2650_FullBackup_2Stream_4week_ret.arc:TD_5550_FULLBACKUP_4STR.arc# >/var/misc/log/run_tara_job.log 2>&1
Note - you will need the Job Names from the Tara scripts (typically find these in /opt/teradata/tara/server/sr directory) or from the Tara GUI.
