ASM access through ftp and html using XDB from Oracle 10gR2:

1. Set up the Oracle XML DB access to the ASM folders:

sqlplus / as sysdba
@?/rdbms/admin/catxdbdbca 7777 8080

Note:
a. This script takes two parameters (port numbers) for the FTP and HTTP services respectively.


2. Look for the datafiles you want to ftp to other DB:

SQL> select file_name from dba_data_files
2 where tablespace_name = 'USERS';

FILE_NAME
-----------------------------------------------
+ORADB_DBF_DG/oradb/datafile/users.272.583155107

SQL> create tablespace TTS datafile '+ORADB_DBF_DG/oradb/datafile/tts_01.dbf' SIZE 50M;

Tablespace created.

SQL> select file_name from dba_data_files
2 where tablespace_name = 'TTS';

FILE_NAME
--------------------------------------
+ORADB_DBF_DG/oradb/datafile/tts_01.dbf

SQL> alter tablespace tts read only;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> exit
