NOCATALOG Mode…
Control file is sole source of backup data
Self-contained RMAN environment
Recommended for
- Single database environments
- Test and development databases
- Recovery catalog databases
Set CFRKT to the maximum number of days that you would think you would possibly want to go back for recovery
- E.g. Weekly full backups
- CFRKT = 15 provides 2 weeks of archive log history
Notes:
NOCATALOG mode is the default. This means that a recovery catalog will not be used and the target database’s control file is the only repository of RMAN backup information. Oracle recommends that you use this mode for small, single database environments and development databases. Environments with many production databases should use CATALOG mode.
Set control_file_record_keep_time to the maximum number of days that you would think you would possibly want to go back for recovery.
