Text description of at

Purpose

To execute a series of RMAN commands stored in an operating system file with the specified full path name, for example, @/oracle/dbs/cmd/cmd1.rman. If you do not specify the full path name, then the current working directory is assumed, for example, @cmd1.rman. Do not use quotes around the string or leave whitespace between the @ and filename. RMAN processes the specified file as if its contents had appeared in place of the @ command.

Restrictions and Usage Notes

None.
