What is recovery catalog and configure command?Recovery catalog:
- A recovery catalog is a schema stored in a database. It tracks backups and stores scripts for use in RMAN backup and recovery situations.
- A set of Oracle tables and views used by RMAN to store RMAN repository information about one or more Oracle databases.
- RMAN uses this metadata to manage the backup, restore, and recovery of Oracle databases.
- Use of it is optional unless you use RMAN in a Data Guard environment, in which case it is required.
- The primary storage for RMAN repository information for a database is always in the control file of the database.
- It is periodically updated with RMAN repository data from the control file.
- In the event of the loss of your control file, it provides most or all of the lost metadata required for restore and recovery of your database.
- The recovery catalog can also store records of archival backups and RMAN stored scripts for use with target databases.
Configure command:
- Configure command used in RMAN,is used to configure the parameters for the RMAN database.
- It is used while making backups and recoveries.
- The CONFIGURE command is used to create or change a persistent configuration affecting RMAN backup, restore, duplication, and maintenance jobs on a particular database.
- A configuration is in effect for any RMAN session on this database until the configuration is explicitly cleared or changed.
- The SHOW command can be used to display the configurations for one or more databases.
