Script to monitor RMAN progress Server Tips by Burleson Consulting February 6, 2008

Question:  I have a long running RMAN job, and I want a script to monitor the progress of RMAN execution.  How do you monitor RMAN progress?

Answer:  Oracle has several views that can monitor long running jobs, including v$session_longops and v$process with v$session.  Also see RMAN backup scripts from Windows DOS scripts for RMAN automated backups and example of RMAN shell script.

sselect
  sid,
  start_time,
  totalwork
  sofar,
 (sofar/totalwork) * 100 pct_done
from
   v$session_longops
where
   totalwork > sofar
AND
   opname NOT LIKE '%aggregate%'
AND
   opname like 'RMAN%';

select
   sid,
   spid,
   client_info,
   event,
   seconds_in_wait,
   p1, p2, p3
 from
   v$process p,
   v$session s
 where
   p.addr = s.paddr
 and
   client_info like 'rman channel=%';

Yousef Rifai has published this RMAN monitoring script, quite handy when you need to monitor the status of a long running RMAN backup job:

REM RMAN Progress
alter session set nls_date_format='dd/mm/yy hh24:mi:ss'
/
select SID, START_TIME,TOTALWORK, sofar, (sofar/totalwork) * 100 done,
sysdate + TIME_REMAINING/3600/24 end_at
from v$session_longops
where totalwork > sofar
AND opname NOT LIKE '%aggregate%'
AND opname like 'RMAN%'
/

REM RMAN wiats
set lines 120
column sid format 9999
column spid format 99999
column client_info format a25
column event format a30
column secs format 9999
SELECT SID, SPID, CLIENT_INFO, event, seconds_in_wait secs, p1, p2, p3
  FROM V$PROCESS p, V$SESSION s
  WHERE p.ADDR = s.PADDR
  and CLIENT_INFO like 'rman channel=%'
