Ramon,

Thanks for the reply.

I guess I've tried the delete part as well. Here's another attempt at it:

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,

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> allocate channel for delete type disk;

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 appropriate

type)

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.
