Tuning RMAN

============
Parallelization
----------------
RMAN> run {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE disk;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c2 DEVICE TYPE disk;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c3 DEVICE TYPE disk;
BACKUP
(DATAFILE 1,2 CHANNEL c1)
(DATAFILE 3,4 CHANNEL c2)
(DATAFILE 5 CHANNEL c3);
}

Monitor RMAN Session

---------------------
RMAN> backup database;
SQL>
COLUMN CLIENT_INFO FORMAT a30
COLUMN SID FORMAT 999
COLUMN SPID FORMAT 9999
SQL> SELECT s.sid, p.spid, s.client_info FROM v$process p, v$session s WHERE p.addr
= s.paddr AND CLIENT_INFO LIKE 'rman%';
SQL> SELECT OPNAME, CONTEXT, SOFAR, TOTALWORK,ROUND(SOFAR/TOTALWORK*100,2)
"%_COMPLETE" FROM V$SESSION_LONGOPS WHERE OPNAME LIKE 'RMAN%' AND OPNAME NOT LIKE
'%aggregate%' AND TOTALWORK != 0 AND SOFAR <> TOTALWORK;

Using DEBUG Option

-------------------
CMD> rman target / debug trace trace.log
RMAN> backup database;
RMAN>
run {
debug on;
allocate channel c1 type disk;
backup datafile 3;
debug off;
backup datafile 4; }
CMD> more trace.log

Using Change Tracking (Fast Incremental Backup)

----------------------
Enable
******
SQL> COLUMN FILENAME FORMAT A32
SQL> SELECT * FROM V$BLOCK_CHANGE_TRACKING;
SQL> HOST MKDIR C:\app\Administrator\flash_recovery_area\orcl\BLOCK_CHANGE
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING USING FILE
'C:\app\Administrator\flash_recovery_area\orcl\BLOCK_CHANGE\ORCL_BLOCK_TRACK.LOG';
SQL> SELECT * FROM V$BLOCK_CHANGE_TRACKING;
SQL> SELECT PROGRAM FROM V$SESSION WHERE USERNAME IS NULL;
SQL> SELECT PROGRAM FROM V$SESSION WHERE USERNAME IS NULL AND PROGRAM LIKE '%CTWR
%';

SQL> host rman target /

RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE;
RMAN> exit
SQL> update scott.dept set dname='uuu' where deptno=40;
SQL> commit;
RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 DATABASE;
SQL> SELECT file#, avg(datafile_blocks),
avg(blocks_read),
avg(blocks_read/datafile_blocks)
* 100 AS PCT_READ_FOR_BACKUP,
avg(blocks)
FROM v$backup_datafile
WHERE used_change_tracking = 'YES'
AND incremental_level > 0
GROUP BY file#;

Disable
********
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DISABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING;
SQL> SELECT * FROM V$BLOCK_CHANGE_TRACKING;
SQL> SELECT PROGRAM FROM V$SESSION WHERE USERNAME IS NULL;
SQL> SELECT PROGRAM FROM V$SESSION WHERE USERNAME IS NULL AND PROGRAM LIKE '%CTWR
%';

Diagnostic RMAN
