Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RMAN: nocatalog; remove backed up archived redos
Leng,
Why are you trying to remove the record from the control file? I don't know for sure but I doubt you can.
It will be overwritten in time anyway, as referenced by the parameter
control_file_record_keep_time
>From the 817 help:
CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME
Parameter type: Integer
Parameter class: Dynamic. Scope = ALTER SYSTEM.
Default value: 7 (days)
Range of values: 0 to 365 (days)
CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME specifies the minimum number of days before a reusable record in the control file can be reused. In the event a new record needs to be added to a reusable section and the oldest record has not aged enough, the record section expands. If this parameter is set to 0, then reusable sections never expand, and records are reused as needed.
Note: This parameter applies only to records in the control file that are circularly reusable (such as archive log records and various backup records). It does not apply to records such as datafile, tablespace, and redo thread records, which are never reused unless the corresponding object is dropped from the tablespace.
See Also: "CONTROL_FILES", Oracle8i Concepts, and Oracle8i Backup and Recovery Guide for more information on control files.
HTH,
Bruce Reardon

Ramon,
Thanks for the reply.
I guess I've tried the delete part as well. Here's another attempt at it:
List of Archived Logs Included
Thrd Seq Low SCN Next SCN Low Time Next Time
RMAN-03022: compiling command: allocate RMAN-03023: executing command: allocate RMAN-08030: allocated channel: delete RMAN-08500: channel delete: sid=15 devtype=DISK
RMAN> change datafilecopy
2> '/data3/rman_bk/HOTP_70_1_442774914' delete;
RMAN-03022: compiling command: change RMAN-03026: error recovery releasing channel resources RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command RMAN-03013: command type: change RMAN-06003: ORACLE error from target database: RMAN-20230: datafilecopy not found in the recovery catalog
Not found in recovery catalog! I'm not using a catalog. And the file is an archived redo log, not a datafile.
All you rman experts, what do we do now?
Ta,
Leng.
Leng,
If you dont use a catalog with rman you wouldn't be able to store
scripts
to make automated backups and restore. Also that means that all the
information about your backups will be stored in the control file of
the
target database, if you loose your controlfiles will loose all the
information
of your backups, so they will be useless.
Allocate channel for delete type disk;
change datafilecopy 'yourfile' delete;
release channel;
This would work for you
Luck (Suerte)

Hello everyone,
Env: 8i and 8.0
I've been digging around the rman manuals and metalink but can't seem to find anything decent on this so thought I'd try this forum...
Firstly, what functionality do you loose when you don't use a catalog?
2ndly, how does one delete old backups? I'm backing up to disk. All is fine with the backup. But now I need to delete the backups from disk, and remove the information about the backup from the controlfile.
Tried doing this but failed:
RMAN-03022: compiling command: allocate RMAN-03023: executing command: allocate RMAN-08030: allocated channel: delete_05 RMAN-08500: channel delete_05: sid=15 devtype=DISK
RMAN> change backuppiece 70 delete;
RMAN-03022: compiling command: change RMAN-03026: error recovery releasing channel resources RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command RMAN-03013: command type: change RMAN-06091: no channel allocated for maintenance (of an appropriatetype)
What's wrong here? I've allocated a channel and RMAN acknowledges that it's for delete. But can't do it.
Help!!
Thanks,
Leng.
