Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: rman nocatalog - required maintenance on the control file
Does the setting of this parameter mean that records older than
the specified number of days are deleted automatically or that they
are candidates for reuse? The manual is a bit vague on this point.
In any event, CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME is set to 7 (days) on the database I am working with. The rman list backup command, however, shows backups going back to July 8 which was when I first began working with rman.
Thanks,
Peter Schauss

Take a look at the init.ora parameter CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME.

Subject: rman nocatalog - required maintenance on the control file
I am preparing to use rman in nocatalog mode for my daily backups. I know that the control file will record information about the backups which I have done. Should I plan to purge information about old backups from the control files at regular intervals?
Thanks,
Peter Schauss
