Fwzia,

I use the following to generate commands to delete old backups (more than 90 days old)from the Rman Catalog. The output from the script (rman_delete.rcv) is fed into Rman to clean up the catalog. I run this job once a month.

Hope this helps

set heading off
set feedback off
set newpage 1
set pagesize 999
set linesize 60
spool rman_delete.rcv
select 'allocate channel for maintenance type ' || ''''

|| 'SBT_TAPE' || '''' || ';' from dual; select 'change backuppiece '||bp.bp_key||' delete;' from rc_backup_piece bp,rc_database db
where db.name = upper('%1')
and bp.db_id = db.dbid
and bp.start_time < sysdate-90
/
select 'exit;' from dual;
spool off
exit
