GLOBAL With the GLOBAL option, PRINT SCRIPT prints the global script named 'script_name' instead of the local script.

If omitted, RMAN looks for a local or global script script_name to print. If a local script is found, it is printed. If no local script is found, but a global script script_name is found, the global script is printed.

See "CREATE SCRIPT" for more details about local and global stored scripts.

'script_name' The name of the script to print.
TO FILE ' filename ' With TO FILE 'filename' option, PRINT SCRIPT sends its output to the specified file instead of standard output.
