RE: W|tee|F? DataPump doesn't work with Unix tee function?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you are right, Datapump doesn't work
with tee. I believe its because the output is coming from the Oracle shadow
process directly rather than being sent back through your exp process. It's
simply not supported in 10g. Version 11 supports compression with a command
line switch.

Friends -

 

I am trying to mechanize a datapump process and send an email if it fails.
Problem is that 

 

expdp username/incrediblysecretpassword parfile=x.par|tee -a somefile

 

does not, in fact, tee -a anything!  I can do 

 

expdp username/incrediblysecretpassword parfile=x.par >somefile 2>somefile

 

but that disables output to the screen, which the user running the job
certainly wouldn't like.  So. three questions.

 

1)     How do you get output onto the screen and into a file without using
tee?

2)     How in the world did Oracle manage to disable tee in the first place?

3)     Why would they want to?

 

Other than that, best wishes to all my good friends for a lovely holiday
and/or quiet list day!

 

Thanks!

Bambi.
