why is rman regarding the missing archivelog as required to fulfilled the retention policy.

While I understand we can use restore <> validate to validate the backup, how do I know if all the required backup is available to restore the database by viewing just the list of backup.

many thanks in advance!

The 'restore archivelog all validate' command doesn't recognise deleted backups.

This falls into the category of "what were they thinking"! However, it's nothing to be too concerned about.

You can generate a command to check only what you need to check from sqlplus with:
Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]
select 'restore validate archivelog from scn '||min_first_change#||' until scn '||max_next_change#
from v$backup_archivelog_summary;


Remember to also check:
Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]
RMAN> RESTORE SPFILE VALIDATE;
RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE VALIDATE;
RMAN> RESTORE DATABASE VALIDATE;


PS: I've just noticed the line "using target database control file instead of recovery catalog".
Connecting to both the target database and recovery catalog should resolve the problem as well.

Good luck!
Frank
