RE: RMAN DBID

["Ruth Gramolini" <rgramolini@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The DBID is also kept by the controlfile.  You can see this by connecting to
rman nocatalog and then connect to your target.  Here is what you will get:
 $ rman nocatalog

Recovery Manager: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production

RMAN> connect target

connected to target database: REF3DEV (DBID=2000332275)
using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog

RMAN>

You can see that the DBID is returned when you connect to the target in
noncatalog mode.

HTH,
Ruth

I'm finally replacing the backup scripts we use for
our databases with RMAN and am looking for any tips
from people that have been using it for a while.

First off, if you're not using a recovery catalog
where should you store the DBID. I hate to think I
wouldn't be able to restore a DB because I forgot to
update a spreadsheet. I'm also looking at including it
in the backup tag, but wanted to get some info from
the list before setting anything in stone.

Thx, Dave
