repository can be listed?

B. Backups that can be deleted from disk

C. Backup sets and images copies that are obsolete

D. Backups that do not have the AVAILABLE status in the RMAN repository

Prerequisites

Execute LIST only at the RMAN prompt. Either of the following conditions must be met:

- RMAN must be connected to a target database. If RMAN is not connected to a recovery catalog, and if

you are not executing the LIST FAILURE command, then the target database must be mounted or

open. If RMAN is connected to a recovery catalog, then the target database instance must be started.

- RMAN must be connected to a recovery catalog and SET DBID must have been run.

Usage Notes

With the exception of LIST FAILURE, the LIST command displays the backups and copies against which

you can run CROSSCHECK and DELETE commands. The LIST FAILURE command displays failures

against which you can run the ADVISE FAILURE and REPAIR FAILURE commands.

"RMAN Backups in a Data Guard Environment" explains how RMAN handles backups in a Data Guard

environment. In general, RMAN considers tape backups created on one database in the environment as

accessible to all databases in the environment, whereas disk backups are accessible only to the database

that created them. In a Data Guard environment, LIST displays those files that are accessible to the

connected target database.

RMAN prints the LIST output to either standard output or the message log, but not to both at the same

time.

The LIST command displays information about backupsets and image copies in the repository and can

also store the contents of scripts stored in the repository catalog.

Another variation on the LIST command is LIST FAILURE, which displays database failures; LIST

FAILURE, ADVISE FAILURE, and REPAIR FAILURE
