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

Controlfile Included: Ckp SCN: 190854 Ckp time: 19-Jun-2003

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.
