I hadn’t heard that the repository was going away.

I did hear, however, at the IOUG meeting last year, that the reporting mechanisms were going to be significantly enhanced, putting it on par with the repository-based reporting. That came directly from one of the Oracle RMAN strategists, if I recall correctly.

Interesting thread, since I am just embarking on using RMAN. If the repository is to go away then why bother learning the intricacies of it. Has anyone else heard the RMAN repository was going away? It appears much simpler to setup w/out the repository. Besides reporting advantages, what are the real benefits to using a repository?

Thanks,

Gene

PS. Now reading Robert's book.

its a pain in the arse but you have to pull out the backed up
controlfile(you did backup the controlfile, eh?) out of the rman backup
piece(i've got a script that will do it automagically based on the
filename pieces you pass it).

then once the backed up controlfile is restored, then you can do normal
recovery procedure.
