RMAN Configured parameters does not get reflected or get changed

 

After configuration of RMAN parameters, it does not get reflected.

 

RMAN> show all;

RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name PRODDB are:

CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default

CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default

CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default

CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default

CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO ‘%F’; # default

CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default

CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default

CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default

CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default

CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM ‘AES128’; # default

CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM ‘BASIC’ AS OF RELEASE ‘DEFAULT’ OPTIMIZE FOR LOAD TRUE ; # default

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default

CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO ‘/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1/dbs/snapcf_proddb.f’; # default

 

Configuring the RMAN Parameters below.,

 

RMAN> configure backup optimization on;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored

RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup on;

new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;

RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO ‘/rman/controlfile/ctl_%F’;

new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO ‘/rman/controlfile/ctl_%F’;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored

RMAN> configure CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO ‘/rman/controlfile/ctl_%F’;

new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO ‘/rman/controlfile/ctl_%F’;

RMAN> configure channel device type disk format ‘/rman/bkup_%U’;

new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT   ‘/rman/bkup_%U’;

After Configuration of the parameters checking the rman configuration by issuing the below command.,

RMAN> show all;

RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name PRODDB are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO ‘/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1/dbs/snapcf_proddb.f’; # default

From the above output show all command we can clearly see that there was no changes reflected in the configuration.

Solution:

Login to the sqlprompt and login as sysdba user.

[oracle@localhost ~]$ sqlplus /nolog

SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.


Issue the below command, this resets all your parameters configured.

execute dbms_backup_restore.resetConfig;

SQL> execute dbms_backup_restore.resetConfig;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> exit

This will reset all your CONFGURE parameters, so be sure to capture all your present CONFIGURE parameters prior to executing this command.

Now login to RMAN prompt and configure the RMAN parameters and check whether the configuration is reflected or not.

[oracle@localhost ~]$ rman
