Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: RMAN Recovery without Catalog
RMAN always stores RMAN information in the control files, for the period of
time defined by the parameter CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME (default: 7
days). All other database information is stored in the control files
indefinitely for the life of the database (i.e. until the next RESETLOGS).
When you use RMAN with a catalog database, it automatically replicates information related to RMAN actions to that catalog database. All other database information has to be explicitly replicated using the RESYNCH command.
This mode of operation has been in place since the beginning, when RMAN was introduced with v8.0.x. The "recovery catalog database" functionality has always been optional, though recommended...
Personally, I find the recovery catalog database to be a pain in the neck and only use it in specific circumstances...
