11.3 RMAN report, list, and crosscheck utilities
RMAN can generate reports about backups and images copies with the
report, list and crosscheck commands
The report command can produce the following types of information from the
recovery catalog:
The database schema
Which data files require a backup
Backup files that are obsolete and can be deleted
Data files that are not recoverable
The list command queries the recovery catalog and produces information
such as:
List of backup sets containing a backup of a specific data file
List of backup sets containing backups for a specific tablespace
List of backup sets containing backups for the whole database
The crosscheck command queries the recovery catalog and verifies,
whether backup sets marked available or expired are available.
For objects stored on disk (type disk): the command determines whether
the header of the backup piece is valid
For TSM objects (type sbt_tape): the command simply check that the
backups exist
You would want to use this utility regularly to verify if your backup is still
available.
Below are examples of how you can use these utilities to perform day-to-day
monitoring. For the complete syntax of these utilities, please refer to the
Oracle 8i Recovery Manager User’s Guide and Reference, A76990-01.
