Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Changing Date Format in RMAN log file
I call my RMAN script from a Unix shell script. I have pasted parts of
the RMAN output below. Note that I have changed nls_date_format to
'yyyy-mm-dd-hh24-mi-ss'. I expected to see the date displayed in this
format, but instead I see the date as "23-JAN-07". Can anybody tell me
how I can get the RMAN log file to show the date as 2007-01-23-13-27-14?
Or even better, as 2007-01-23 13:27:14.
BTW, RMAN threw errors when I used ":" in the time part of the date format, that is why I have dashes there.
Here is the partial output from the RMAN log file.
