RC_PROXY_CONTROLFILE

This view contains descriptions of control file backups that were taken using the proxy copy functionality. It corresponds to the V$PROXY_DATAFILE view.

In a proxy copy, the media manager takes over the operations of backing up and restoring data. Each row represents a backup of one control file.

Column Datatype Description
DB_KEY NUMBER The primary key for the target database. Use this column to form a join with almost any other catalog view.
DBINC_KEY NUMBER The primary key for the incarnation of the target database. Use this column to form a join with RC_DATABASE_INCARNATION.
DB_NAME VARCHAR2(8) The DB_NAME of the database incarnation to which this record belongs.
XCF_KEY NUMBER The proxy copy primary key in the recovery catalog. If you issue the LIST command while connected to the recovery catalog, this value appears in the KEY column of the output.
RECID NUMBER The proxy copy record identifier from V$PROXY_DATAFILE. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file.
STAMP NUMBER The proxy copy stamp fromV$PROXY_DATAFILE. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file.
TAG VARCHAR2(32) The tag for the proxy copy.
RESETLOGS_CHANGE# NUMBER The RESETLOGS SCN of the database incarnation to which this datafile belongs.
RESETLOGS_TIME DATE The RESETLOGS time stamp of the database incarnation to which this datafile belongs.
CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# NUMBER Datafile checkpoint SCN when this copy was made.
CHECKPOINT_TIME DATE Datafile checkpoint time when this copy was made.
CREATION_TIME DATE The control file creation time.
BLOCK_SIZE NUMBER The block size for the copy in bytes.
MIN_OFFR_RECID NUMBER Internal use only.
OLDEST_OFFLINE_RANGE NUMBER Internal use only.
DEVICE_TYPE VARCHAR2(255) The type of sequential media device.
HANDLE VARCHAR2(1024) The name or "handle" for the proxy copy. RMAN passes this value to the operating system-dependent layer that identifies the file.
COMMENTS VARCHAR2(255) Comments about the proxy copy.
MEDIA VARCHAR2(80) A comment that contains further information about the media manager that created this backup.
MEDIA_POOL NUMBER The number of the media pool in which the proxy copy is stored.
START_TIME DATE The time when proxy copy was initiated.
COMPLETION_TIME DATE The time when the proxy copy was completed.
ELAPSED_SECONDS NUMBER The duration of the proxy copy.
STATUS VARCHAR2(1) The status of the backup set: A (available), U (unavailable), X (expired), or D (deleted).
KEEP VARCHAR2(3) Indicates whether this proxy copy has a retention policy different from the value for CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY. Possible values are YES and NO.
KEEP_OPTIONS VARCHAR2(10) The KEEP options specified for this control file backup. Options can be LOGS (RMAN keeps the logs needed to recover this backup), NOLOGS (RMAN does not keep the logs needed to recover this backup), or NULL (the backup has no KEEP options and will be made obsolete based on the retention policy).
KEEP_UNTIL DATE If the KEEP UNTIL TIME clause of the BACKUP command was specified, then this column shows the date after which this control file backup becomes obsolete. If the column is NULL and KEEP OPTIONS is not NULL, the backup never becomes obsolete.
CONTROLFILE_TYPE VARCHAR2(1) The type of control file copy: B (normal copy) or S (standby copy).
