Well the kind of checking that rman does depends on what you have coded in your script/job. Personally I like a setup like this ( checking the database first before attempting a backup ( backup validate ( is this deprecated now? ) ) and checking the database backup afterwards ( restore database validate ). backup validate check logical database; backup incremental level 1 for recover of copy with tag 'disk_incremental' database; recover copy of database with tag 'disk_incremental'; restore database validate; I do not know of anyone ( yet ... lets see what the list response produces ) that is invoking the health checks manually and not picking related alerts from OEM and/or Grid Control ... but thanks for pointing this out I do not recall looking at this part of the doc recently. --- On Tue, 4/2/13, C P <carlospena999@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: C P <carlospena999@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Health check monitor > To: "oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Tuesday, April 2, 2013, 2:04 PM > Hello, > We have some monitoring scripts in our production > environments.
