Hello List, sorry about posting this again but , no one responded and
I am really stuck
I am using Oracle 9i release 2 enterprise edition on win32

After connecting thru rman , I made sure that I did not have any
backupsets by running
delete backup ;
and then checked with list backup ;

I have set a recovery window of 4 days with :
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 4 DAYS;

And enabled autobackup of controlfiles and spfiles :
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO
'D:\%F';

Then I created a backup of the entire database :
 backup database ;
(This created a separate backup piece : D:\C-2202427048-20030619-05)

This is the only backup of the control file I have.  I checked with
RMAN> LIST BACKUP OF CONTROLFILE;

List of Backup Sets
===================

BS Key  Type LV Size       Device Type Elapsed Time Completion Time

------- ---- -- ---------- ----------- ------------ ------------------

60      Full    672K       DISK        00:00:02     19-Jun-2003 08:04:

        BP Key: 60   Status: AVAILABLE   Tag:

  Controlfile Included: Ckp SCN: 190854       Ckp time: 19-Jun-2003
08:04:40

Now when I run report obsolete ;
Its gives me the following o/p

RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to recovery window of 4 days
Report of obsolete backups and copies
Type                 Key    Completion Time    Filename/Handle
-------------------- ------ ------------------ --------------------
Backup Set         60     19-Jun-2003 08:04:42
Backup Piece      60     19-Jun-2003 08:04:42
D:\C-2202427048-20030619-05

Why is this sole backup of the controlfile , obsolete ?
If someone runs a delete obselete; they will delete this backup.
