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:
Piece Name: D:\C-2202427048-20030619-05
Controlfile Included: Ckp SCN: 190854 Ckp time: 19-Jun-2003
08:04:40Now 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.
