    RMAN tag question

    When I run the following RMAN script


    RMAN> run
    2> {
    3> SQL 'alter system switch logfile';
    4> backup full database tag='fullbkup' plus archivelog delete all input;
    5> delete noprompt obsolete;
    6> }



    As you can see I specifiy the tag='fullbkup'. My question is how come everything
    does not contain that tag (see below). Why do I see tags like this "Tag: TAG20090324T15504".

    How do I get everything to have the same tag name?


    RMAN> list backupset;

    Cool Order, everything in order...

    In your script the tag is only assigned to the datafile backups not the archive logs.
    The controlfile backup is an 'autobackup' and is assigned a different tag by rman.

    Try this:
    Code:
    Crosscheck Backup;
    Crosscheck Archivelog All;
    run {
      SQL 'alter system switch logfile';
      backup tag='FullBkup' full database
        plus archivelog delete all input;
    }
    Delete noprompt obsolete;
