Use the RMAN command show to view the current value of one or all of RMAN's configuration settings. The show
command will let you view the value of a specified RMAN setting. For example, the following show command displays
whether the auto backup of the control file has been enabled:
RMAN> show controlfile autobackup;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name ORCL are:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
RMAN>
The show all command displays both settings that you have configured and any default settings. Any default
settings will be displayed with a # default at the end of the line. For example, the following is the output from
executing the show all command:
RMAN> connect target /
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name ORCL are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
