RC_DATAFILE_COPY

This view lists information about datafile copies on disk. It corresponds to the V$DATAFILE_COPY view.

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.
CDF_KEY NUMBER The primary key of the datafile copy in the recovery catalog. If you issue the LIST command while connected to the recovery catalog, this value appears in the KEY column of the output.
RECID NUMBER The datafile copy record from V$DATAFILE_COPY. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file.
STAMP NUMBER The datafile copy stamp from V$DATAFILE_COPY. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file.
NAME VARCHAR2(1024) The filename of the datafile copy.
TAG VARCHAR2(32) The tag for the datafile copy.
FILE# NUMBER The absolute file number for the datafile.
CREATION_CHANGE# NUMBER The creation SCN of the datafile.
RESETLOGS_CHANGE# NUMBER The SCN of the most recent RESETLOGS when the datafile was created.
RESETLOGS_TIME DATE The time stamp of the most recent RESETLOGS in the datafile header.
INCREMENTAL_LEVEL NUMBER The incremental level of the copy: 0 or NULL.
CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# NUMBER The SCN of the most recent datafile checkpoint.
CHECKPOINT_TIME DATE The time of the most recent datafile checkpoint.
ABSOLUTE_FUZZY_CHANGE# NUMBER The highest SCN in any block of the file, if known. Recovery must proceed to at least this SCN for the file to become not fuzzy.
RECOVERY_FUZZY_CHANGE# NUMBER The SCN to which recovery must proceed for the file to become not fuzzy. If not NULL, this file must be recovered at least to the specified SCN before the database can be opened with this file.
RECOVERY_FUZZY_TIME DATE The time that is associated with the RECOVERY_FUZZY_CHANGE#.
ONLINE_FUZZY VARCHAR2(3) YES/NO. If set to YES, this copy was made after an instance failure or OFFLINE IMMEDATE (or is a copy that was taken improperly while the database was open). Recovery will need to apply all redo up to the next crash recovery marker to make the file consistent.
BACKUP_FUZZY VARCHAR2(3) YES/NO. If set to YES, this is a copy taken using the BEGIN BACKUP/END BACKUP technique. To make this copy consistent, the recovery process needs to apply all redo up to the marker that is placed in the redo stream when the ALTER TABLESPACE END BACKUP command is used.
BLOCKS NUMBER The number of blocks in the datafile copy (also the size of the datafile when the copy was made).
BLOCK_SIZE NUMBER The size of the blocks in bytes.
COMPLETION_TIME DATE The time when the copy completed.
STATUS VARCHAR2(1) The status of the copy: A (available), U (unavailable), X (expired), or D (deleted).
KEEP VARCHAR2(3) Indicates whether this copy has a retention policy different from the value for CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY. Possible values are YES and NO.
KEEP_UNTIL DATE If the KEEP UNTIL TIME clause of the COPY command was specified, then this column shows the date after which this datafile copy becomes obsolete. If the column is NULL and KEEP OPTIONS is not NULL, the copy never becomes obsolete.
KEEP_OPTIONS VARCHAR2(10) The KEEP options specified for this datafile copy. Options can be LOGS (RMAN keeps the logs needed to recover this backup), NOLOGS (RMAN does not keep the logs needed to recover this backup), or NULL (the backup has no KEEP options and will be made obsolete based on the retention policy).
SCANNED VARCHAR2(3) Whether RMAN scanned the file (YES or NO). If YES, then this copy was created by a server process that examined every block in the file, for example, by the RMAN COPY or RESTORE command. If NO, then RMAN did not examine every block in the file, as when RMAN inspects a non-RMAN generated image copy or restores by proxy copy.

Whenever RMAN creates or restores a datafile copy, it adds rows to the V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION view and RC_DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION view if it discovers corrupt blocks in the file. If RMAN has scanned the entire file, then the absence of corruption records for this copy means that no corrupt blocks exist in the file. If RMAN did not scan the file, then the absence of corruption records means that corrupt blocks may or may not exist in the file.

IS_RECOVERY_DEST_FILE VARCHAR2(3) This datafile copy is located in the flash recovery area: YES or NO.
