    Hi Hauke, Best practice is to write your bash script outside of Delphix and locate it on the target server. You then call the script from within the hook. The benefit with this method is you have complete control over input and output and ensure logging and debugging is exactly how you want it. Delphix provide a bunch of variables you can use too. I've written a SQL Server blog post that mentions the variables (although it is a little out of date now but useful nonetheless) but the same applies to Linux based systems. https://thedatalobby.kuzodata.com/delphix-sql-server-hooks/

    Hi Matt, thank you for your information. When the target is a Oracle Rac, on which node will the execution be done? Thanks Regards Gianpiero
