RE: RMAN error while backing up control file

Have you looked for the control file backup and found it not there?  Did you
check for the snapshot control file?  Is it in O_H/dbs with the name you
gave it?

If it your autobackup controlfile that is missing, just do a controlfile
backup to the directory where you put the autobackup controlfiles so you are
sure to have a copy which knows about all of the backupsets and where the
datafile backups are so you won't get stuck if you have to do a
restore/recovery.

Ruth

Subject: RMAN error while backing up control file


Hi all,
  I keep getting a nagging RMAN error, perhaps someone out there can help.

My RMAN setup works great to backup the database, etc. .... but I tried to
set it to "auto backup" the control file. However, everytime after a backup,
when the "auto backup" starts, I get an error:

Starting Control File Autobackup at 29-SEP-05
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script
full_bell1_nic_backup_plus_archlogs
RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 09/29/2005 14:53:46
ORA-19715: invalid format for piece name


Here are my config settings:

RMAN> show all;

RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO
'/xfer/rman_backups/bell1_nic/bell1_nic_control_files/ctl_file_%T_%U_%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO
'/xfer/oracle/app/oracle/product/920/dbs/snapcf_nic.f';



Any ideas why it won't successfully backup the controlfile??

Thanks,
-Fred S.
