Load Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) events

RMAN Historic collection fetches Jobs data over JDBC connection from RMAN database. It uses Dynamic Performance (V$) views for fetching backups in individual instances, or Recovery Catalog views for fetching backups from a central Recovery Catalog.

  1. Set Advanced Parameter RMAN_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_DAYS=#, where # must be a positive numeric value that indicates the days to load (from current day).

  2. Set Advanced Parameter RMAN_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_OVERRIDE=Y.

    Note:

    For more information on RMAN_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_OVERRIDE and RMAN_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_DAYS, see IT Analytics User Guide > Customize with advanced parameters >> Adding an advance parameter section.

    See RMAN_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_OVERRIDE.

    See RMAN_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_DAYS.

  3. Navigate to Admin >> Data Collection >> Collector Administration.

  4. Select Oracle RMAN Data Collection policy and click Run.

    You can also wait for the scheduled collection to complete.

  5. Reset RMAN_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_DAYS and RMAN_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_OVERRIDE to their original values (or the default values) once the Collection Run is complete. Do not delete the advanced parameters.
