A
Deprecated RMAN Commands

This appendix describes Recovery Manager syntax that is deprecated and describes preferred syntax if any exists.

Deprecated RMAN syntax continues to be supported in subsequent releases for backward compatibility. For example, the SET AUXNAME command replaced the SET CLONENAME command in release 8.1.5, and the CONFIGURE AUXNAME command replaced the SET AUXNAME command in Oracle9i, but you can continue to run both SET CLONENAME and SET AUXNAME in all subsequent RMAN releases.
