Purpose

To display information about backup sets, proxy copies, and image copies recorded in the repository. The LIST command displays the files against which you can run CROSSCHECK and DELETE commands. Use this command to list:

RMAN records the output to either standard output or the message log, but not to both at the same time. You can control how the output is organized (BY BACKUP or BY FILE) as well as the level of detail in the output (VERBOSE or SUMMARY).

Restrictions and Usage Notes

Keywords and Parameters

list

Syntax Element Description
EXPIRED Displays backup sets, proxy copies, and image copies marked in the repository as EXPIRED, that is, "not found."

To ensure that LIST EXPIRED shows up-to-date output, issue a CROSSCHECK command periodically. When you issue a CROSSCHECK command, RMAN searches on disk and tape for the backups and copies recorded in the repository. If it does not find them, then it updates their repository records to status EXPIRED.

RECOVERABLE Specifies datafile backups or copies whose status in the repository is AVAILABLE and which can be used for restore and recovery in the target database's current incarnation. This list includes all backups and copies except the incremental backups that have no valid parent to which the incremental can be applied.
untilClause
Specifies an end time, SCN, or log sequence number. See "untilClause".
recordSpec
Specifies the object or objects that you are listing. Refer to "recordSpec".
INCARNATION Displays information about the incarnations of a database. Whenever you open a database with the RESETLOGS option, then you create a new incarnation of the database. So, if LIST INCARNATION displays n incarnations of a database, then you have reset the online logs for this database n-1 times.

The LIST output includes the primary keys of all database incarnation records for the specified database name (in the column "Inc Key," short for "incarnation key"). Use the key in a RESET DATABASE command to change the incarnation that RMAN considers to be current to a previous incarnation.

See Also: Table 2-19 for an explanation of the column headings of the LIST INCARNATION output table

OF DATABASE 'database_name' Specifies the name of the database. If you do not specify the OF DATABASE option, then the command lists all databases registered in the recovery catalog.
maintQualifier
Restricts the range of the listing. Refer to "maintQualifier".
SCRIPT NAMES Lists names of RMAN stored scripts in the currently connected recovery catalog, along with any descriptive comments.

Without ALL or GLOBAL options, lists local and global scripts that can be executed on the current target database. You must be connected to a target database and a recovery catalog to use this form of the command.

You must connect to a target database and a recovery catalog to list names for scripts defined for that target database.

ALL RMAN lists all global and local scripts defined for all databases in the connected recovery catalog.

You must be connected to a recovery catalog to use LIST ALL SCRIPT NAMES, but you do not need to be connected to a target database.

GLOBAL RMAN lists only global scripts defined in the connected recovery catalog.

You must be connected to a recovery catalog to use LIST GLOBAL SCRIPT NAMES, but you do not need to be connected to a target database.


listObjectSpec

Syntax Element Description
listObjectSpec Specifies the type of object or objects that you are listing.

See Also: "recordSpec"

BACKUP Displays information about BACKUP output: backup sets (including detail on backup pieces), proxy copies, and image copies.
BACKUPSET Displays only information about backup sets, backup pieces, and proxy copies. The output displays a unique key for each. The LIST BACKUPSET command defaults to BY BACKUP.

By default, RMAN lists both usable and unusable backups, even those that cannot be restored, are expired or unavailable, or are incrementals that cannot be restored because their parent full backup or copy no longer exists. To see only backups that can be used for recovery, use the RECOVERABLE option.

See Also: "LIST Output" for an explanation of the column headings of the LIST output tables. Use the KEY column of the output to obtain the primary key usable in the CHANGE and DELETE commands.

COPY Displays only information about datafile copies, archived redo logs, and image copies of archived redo logs. By default, LIST COPY displays copies of all database files and archived redo logs. Both usable and unusable image copies are included in the output, even those that cannot be restored or are expired or unavailable.

See Also: Table 2-16 and Table 2-18 for an explanation of the column headings of the LIST COPY output tables

OF listObjList Restricts the list of objects operated on to the object type specified in the listObjList clause. If you do not specify an object, then LIST defaults to OF DATABASE CONTROLFILE ARCHIVELOG ALL.

Note: The LIST BACKUP ... LIKE command is not valid. The only valid exception is LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG LIKE.

See Also: "listObjList"

archivelogRecordSpecifier
Displays information about a range of archived redo logs.

listBackupOption

Syntax Element Description
listBackupOption Specifies how you want the list backup sets.

See Also: "recordSpec"

BY BACKUP Lists backup sets, then the contents of each backup set (pieces and files), and then proxy copies. This is the default option for LIST BACKUP.

If you specify the SUMMARY option, then this command is equivalent to LIST BACKUP SUMMARY.

VERBOSE Gives detailed description of contents of each backup set (default).
SUMMARY Gives a one-line summary for each datafile (when using BY FILE) or backup (when using BY BACKUP).
BY FILE Lists a datafile, then its backup sets, and then proxy copies.
