5.37 RC_PROXY_ARCHIVEDLOG

This view contains descriptions of archived log backups that were taken using the proxy copy functionality. It corresponds to the V$PROXY_ARCHIVEDLOG view.

In a proxy copy, the media manager takes over the operations of backing up and restoring data. Each row represents a backup of one control file.

Column Data Type Description

DB_KEY

NUMBER

The primary key for the target database. Use this column to join with almost any other catalog view.

DBINC_KEY

NUMBER

The primary key for the incarnation of the target database. Use this column to join with RC_DATABASE_INCARNATION.

DB_NAME

VARCHAR2(8)

The DB_NAME of the database incarnation to which this record belongs.

XAL_KEY

NUMBER

The proxy copy primary key in the recovery catalog. If you issue the LIST command while RMAN is connected to the recovery catalog, then this value appears in the KEY column of the output.

RECID

NUMBER

The proxy copy record identifier from V$PROXY_ARCHIVEDLOG. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file.

TAG

VARCHAR2(32)

The tag for the proxy copy.

DEVICE_TYPE

VARCHAR2(255)

The type of media device that stores the proxy copy.

HANDLE

BLOCKS

The size of this archived redo log in operating system blocks.

BLOCK_SIZE

NUMBER

The block size for the copy in bytes.

DEVICE_TYPE

START_TIME

DATE

The time when proxy copy was initiated.

COMPLETION_TIME

RSR_KEY

TERMINAL

VARCHAR2(3)

KEEP

VARCHAR2(3)

Indicates whether this proxy copy has a retention policy different from the value for CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY. Possible values are YES and NO.

KEEP_OPTIONS

VARCHAR2(11)

The KEEP options specified for this proxy copy. Possible values are NOLOGS, BACKUP_LOGS, LOGS, and NULL. NOLOGS indicates a consistent backup made when the database was mounted. BACKUP_LOGS indicates that the backup was made in open mode, so archived log backups must be applied to make it consistent. LOGS indicates a long-term backup made with the LOGS keyword, which is now deprecated. NULL indicates that this backup has no KEEP options and becomes obsolete based on the retention policy.

KEEP_UNTIL

DATE

If the KEEP UNTIL TIME clause of the BACKUP command was specified, then this column shows the date after which this proxy copy becomes obsolete. If the column is NULL and KEEP OPTIONS is not NULL, then the proxy copy never becomes obsolete.

SITE_KEY

NUMBER

Primary key of the Data Guard database associated with this file. Each database in a Data Guard environment has a unique SITE_KEY value. You can use SITE_KEY in a join with the RC_SITE view to obtain the DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the database.
