Hello everybody,

        I'm saving an Oracle 8.0.5 on Windows NT with RMAN.
        Therefor i has made a script to delete Backups and Archivelogs which
are older than 30 Days.

        In the script I use the command " list backupset of archivelog until
time 'SYSDATE -30' " to get
        the Information which Redologs I have.

        Last week I must restore the Database to an older date (only 3 hours
back) and in fact of that
        I must made a new incarnation in the RecoveryCatalog (with the
command reset database).

        Now I have the problem that my list doesen't show me the Redologs of
the older incarnations.

        The only way I found was to reset the database to an older
incarnation, but this is only possible if
        the target-Database is in the state nomount. (If I shutdown the
Database only to get information which
        Archivelogs I could delete, my customer will kill me.)

        Is there any way to get information about the backups and
archivelogs of the older incarnations without
        'reset the database to incarnation'  ?

      Every idea would be helpfull .

     best regards
