Hello everyone, Env: 8i and 8.0
I've been digging around the rman manuals and metalink but can't seem to find anything decent on this so thought I'd try this forum... Firstly, what functionality do you loose when you don't use a catalog? 2ndly, how does one delete old backups? I'm backing up to disk. All is fine with the backup. But now I need to delete the backups from disk, and remove the information about the backup from the controlfile. Tried doing this but failed: ---------- RMAN> allocate channel for delete type disk; RMAN-03022: compiling command: allocate RMAN-03023: executing command: allocate RMAN-08030: allocated channel: delete_05 RMAN-08500: channel delete_05: sid=15 devtype=DISK RMAN> change backuppiece 70 delete; RMAN-03022: compiling command: change RMAN-03026: error recovery releasing channel resources RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command RMAN-03013: command type: change RMAN-06091: no channel allocated for maintenance (of an appropriate type) ----------- What's wrong here? I've allocated a channel and RMAN acknowledges that it's for delete. But can't do it. Help!!
