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 Datatype Description
DB_KEY NUMBER The primary key for the target database. Use this column to form a join with almost any other catalog view.
DBINC_KEY NUMBER The primary key for the incarnation of the target database. Use this column to form a 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 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$PROXY_ARCHIVEDLOG. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file.
STAMP NUMBER The proxy copy stamp from V$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 VARCHAR2(1024) The name or "handle" for the proxy copy. RMAN passes this value to the media manager that created the proxy copy of the archived redo log.
COMMENTS VARCHAR2(255) Comments about the proxy copy.
MEDIA VARCHAR2(80) A comment that contains further information about the media manager that created this backup.
MEDIA_POOL NUMBER The number of the media pool in which the proxy copy is stored.
STATUS VARCHAR2(1) The status of the backup set: A (available), U (unavailable), X (expired), or D (deleted).
THREAD# NUMBER The number of the redo thread.
SEQUENCE# NUMBER The log sequence number.
RESETLOGS_CHANGE# NUMBER The RESETLOGS SCN of the database incarnation to which this archived log belongs.
RESETLOGS_TIME DATE The RESETLOGS time stamp of the database incarnation to which this archived log belongs.
FIRST_CHANGE# NUMBER The first SCN of this redo log.
FIRST_TIME DATE The time when Oracle switched into the redo log.
NEXT_CHANGE# NUMBER The first SCN of the next redo log in the thread.
NEXT_TIME DATE The first time stamp of the next redo log in the thread.
BLOCKS NUMBER The size of this archived redo log in operating system blocks.
BLOCK_SIZE NUMBER The block size for the copy in bytes.
DEVICE_TYPE VARCHAR2(255) The type of sequential media device.
START_TIME DATE The time when proxy copy was initiated.
COMPLETION_TIME DATE The time when the proxy copy was completed.
ELAPSED_SECONDS NUMBER The duration of the proxy copy.
RSR_KEY NUMBER The primary key from the rman status record. Use this column to perform a join with RC_RMAN_STATUS.
TERMINAL VARCHAR2(3) YES if this record corresponds to a terminal archived redo log, as defined in V$ARCHIVED_LOG.
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.
