FCM4UNIX: multiple occurrences of DATABASE_BACKUP_INCREMENTEL_LEVEL incl. USE_AT clause in FCM profile required

Hi Tivoli :-)

For incremental level Oracle (native) backups the DATABASE_BACKUP_INCREMENTAL_LEVEL statement must be usable multiple times like the INCREMENTAL_LEVEL statement for SAP/Oracle backups:

INCREMENTAL_LEVEL
This parameter is only for use with Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN).
The RMAN incremental level is an integer of value0or1.An
INCREMENTAL_LEVELof0generates a full backup and anINCREMENTAL_LEVEL
value of1generates an incremental backup. The specification of day and time
is optional. If the day and time are used, multiple occurrences of this
parameter are valid as long as the time specification does not overlap. Time
must be specified in the 24-hour format. Days can be specified by weekday
abbreviations such asMonorTue, or by numerical values 0or6where0is
Sunday and6is Saturday. The syntax for day and time specification is [USE_AT
<days of week>FROM<time>TO<time>]
Default
0
Advanced mode only
