All, Here is the script directly out of the TDP for Oracle manual:
To remove an old backup, issue this command from the RMAN prompt: run { allocate channel for delete type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=c:\RMAN\scripts\tdpo.opt)'; change backupset primary_key delete; } Note: To enter a number value for the primary key variable, look up the value in the RMAN catalog. My question is: what exactly is the "primary key" variable? -- Joshua S.
