    Rman table/view cleanup

    Hi,

    version - 11.1.0.7

    I have Rman backups running on a database. Due to some application requirements for testing, the system date was changed to reflect a year ago. So. it's June 2011 now.

    My scripts to report backup status etc are not working as expected as they are looking for the max(end_time) from v$rman_status.

    Is there any way to cleanup or reinstall the rman dictionary.

    Appreciate your help

    Regards
    Jay

    Cool

    Yes, take a look at the "CHANGE" command.

    Hi,

    I checked out the link but I'm still not sure what I need to use for my sceanrio.

    Here's the output from v$rman_status

    select status, start_time, end_time, operation from v$rman_status where operation='BACKUP' order by start_time;

    STATUS START_TIM END_TIME OPERATION
    ----------------------- --------- --------- ---------------------------------
    COMPLETED 16-JUN-11 16-JUN-11 BACKUP
    COMPLETED 16-JUN-11 16-JUN-11 BACKUP
    COMPLETED 16-JUN-11 16-JUN-11 BACKUP
    COMPLETED 16-JUN-11 16-JUN-11 BACKUP
    COMPLETED 17-JUN-11 17-JUN-11 BACKUP
    COMPLETED 17-JUN-11 17-JUN-11 BACKUP
    COMPLETED 17-JUN-11 17-JUN-11 BACKUP -- 17th is sysdate on the server today

    March 12th was when the system date was changed on the server ..
    so the output also has
    COMPLETED 11-MAR-12 11-MAR-12 BACKUP
    COMPLETED 11-MAR-12 11-MAR-12 BACKUP
    COMPLETED 11-MAR-12 11-MAR-12 BACKUP
    FAILED 11-MAR-12 11-MAR-12 BACKUP
    COMPLETED 11-MAR-12 11-MAR-12 BACKUP
    COMPLETED 12-MAR-12 12-MAR-12 BACKUP
    COMPLETED 12-MAR-12 12-MAR-12 BACKUP

    So, basically I need to get rid of all the entries of 2012.

    Thanks again

    Jay

    Cool

    Perhaps DELETE would work:
    Code:
    DELETE BACKUPSET COMPLETED AFTER '17-JUN-11:23:59:59';

    Hi,

    I tried the following .. nothing happened.

    RMAN> DELETE BACKUPSET COMPLETED AFTER 'sysdate';

    using channel ORA_DISK_1
    using channel ORA_DISK_2
    using channel ORA_DISK_3
    using channel ORA_DISK_4

    RMAN>

    Regards

    You can also unregister and reregister your database. Unregistering will delete the backups in the catalog. If that doesn't work, unregister the database, then use "nid" to change the db id, then reregister the database. this will work.

    Don't use quotes:
    Code:
    DELETE BACKUPSET COMPLETED AFTER sysdate;

    Or, do as gandolf989 suggests to get "clean" catalog.
