I just found a Korn shell script on-line to Delete RMAN backupsets older
than a specified number of days. It has syntax in it that RMAN doesn't
like, and I can't find a reference to what the script is trying to do
anywhere.
OS: HPUX 11i
Production DB: Oracle 8.1.7.4
Recovery Catalog DB: Oracle 8.1.7.4
The syntax in the script is this:
(rman catalog rman/password@RCAT target sys/password@HOST <<- EOF
list backupset of database
from time 'SYSDATE-1000' until time 'SYSDATE-$DAYSTOKEEP';
exit;
EOF ) | grep RMAN-06233 | while read filler key filler filler date rest
do
echo "# Delete backupset $key dated $date..." >>$CMDFILE
echo "CHANGE BACKUPSET $key DELETE;" >>$CMDFILE
done
The syntax I am confused about is the "list ..... from time ....until time"
part. I cannot find reference to that syntax anywhere. Is there actually
a way to make this work?
When I run the script, it gets to this point and gives me the following
error messages:
RMAN-00558: error encountered while parsing input commands
RMAN-01005: syntax error: found "from": expecting one of: "archivelog,
completed, controlfile, database, datafile, device, like, recoverable, ;,
skip, tablespace, tag"
RMAN-01007: at line 2 column 1 file: standard input
Thanks in Advance!
