Leng,
Why are you trying to remove the record from the control file?
I don't know for sure but I doubt you can.
It will be overwritten in time anyway, as referenced by the parameter
control_file_record_keep_time
>From the 817 help:
CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME
Parameter type: Integer
Parameter class: Dynamic. Scope = ALTER SYSTEM.
Default value: 7 (days)
Range of values: 0 to 365 (days)
CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME specifies the minimum number of days before a
reusable record in the control file can be reused. In the event a new record
needs to be added to a reusable section and the oldest record has not aged
enough, the record section expands. If this parameter is set to 0, then
reusable sections never expand, and records are reused as needed.
Note: This parameter applies only to records in the control file that are
circularly reusable (such as archive log records and various backup
records). It does not apply to records such as datafile, tablespace, and
redo thread records, which are never reused unless the corresponding object
is dropped from the tablespace.
See Also: "CONTROL_FILES", Oracle8i Concepts, and Oracle8i Backup and
Recovery Guide for more information on control files.
HTH,
Bruce Reardon

Ramon,
Thanks for the reply.
I guess I've tried the delete part as well. Here's another attempt at
it:

Not found in recovery catalog! I'm not using a catalog. And the file is
an archived redo log, not a datafile.
All you rman experts, what do we do now?

Subject: RE: RMAN: nocatalog; remove backed up archived redos
Leng,
If you dont use a catalog with rman you wouldn't be able to store
scripts
to make automated backups and restore. Also that means that all the
information about your backups will be stored in the control file of
the
target database, if you loose your controlfiles will loose all the
information
of your backups, so they will be useless.
Allocate channel for delete type disk;
change datafilecopy 'yourfile' delete;
release channel;
This would work for you
Luck (Suerte)

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!!
Thanks,
Leng.
