Joe, Yes, to my knowledge, the resync is only intended to bring the repository up to date with control file. I doubt you will ever see the mechanism to reverse this functionality (e.g. put backup records in the control file after the fact) since when an entry is made in the control file, a counter (control file sequence number if I remember correctly) is incremented thereby giving a chronological state of the control file in the same sense the SCN shows the status of oracle files.
HTH, -Ron- -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 8:19 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Robert, and all of you other RMAN gurus. scenario 1: repository unavailable, so rman backup was done using controlfile only. upon later successful connection to repository, the backup info was pushed from controlfile to repository(YEA). scenario 2: I have to rebuild the controlfile and have a rman repository. so i do a resync in rman, rebuild the controlfile and connect back to repository, doing a resync HOPING that the controlfile gets updated with info from repository, no such luck. I did a dump of the controlfile(via alter session set events 'immediate trace name controlf level 10'), looking for the section on BACKUP SET RECORDS and BACKUP PIECE RECORDS and there is nothing there. so my question is this: is the resync only a one way push, i understand oracle's mentality about not overwriting the backup records in the controlfile since that should be the true information, but is there a way to force oracle/rman to push the repository info back into the controlfile, i've not found a solution for this. if anyone is interested in the dump files, let me know and i'll make them available on the web so you can see what I'm talking about. thanks, joe Joseph S Testa Chief Technology Officer Data Management Consulting p: 614-791-9000 f: 614-791-9001 -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Joseph S Testa INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
