Wow.  How weird is that?  

 

Thanks Randy!

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.
