RE: RMAN Retention Policy

2003-12-18 Thread MacGregor, Ian A.

Thanks,  for the example script.  I had already reached the conclusion that  "change 
backuppiece ..." was needed, but
hadn't yet figured how to query for the proper pieces.

Ian,

I think retention policy is new in 9i.

I purge my repository of backups that are older than 90 days (because our tape systems 
rotates and reuses tapes after that time) using the "change backuppiece 330783 delete; 
" command.  I run a sql script againts the rman repository looking for pieces that 
satisfy this requirement.  The sql looks like this:

select 'change backuppiece bp.bp_key delete;'
from rc_backup_piece bp,rc_database db
where db.name = upper('ORACLE_SID')
and bp.db_id = db.dbid
and bp.start_time < sysdate-90
/

This is in an 8i database.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

I looked at commands such as

But crosscheck only expires backups which are in the catalog, but not available on the 
backup media.

Do I have to use the change command and designate each backup piece?

Did you connect to the target database first?  I know this is a simple thing
but sometimes we forget.
