631.View the Exhibit and examine the output of the query in different times when the following command runs in an RMAN sessions:
RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE FILESPERSET 2;
The database has seven data files. Why is the %_COMPLETE refreshed to 13.59 in the third output after reaching 88.77?
Exhibit:
A. Because the progress is reported for each data file
B. Because the progress is reported for each backup set
C. Because other RMAN sessions have issued the same BACKUP command
D. Because new data files have been added to the database while the RMAN backup is in progress
Answer: B

You can monitor the progress of backups and restore jobs by querying the view V$SESSION_LONGOPS
. RMAN uses two types of rows in V$SESSION_LONGOPS
: detail rows and aggregate rows.
Detail rows describe the files being processed by one job step, whereas aggregate rows describe the files processed by all job steps in an RMAN command. A job step is the creation or restoration of one backup set or data file copy. Detail rows are updated with every buffer that is read or written during the backup step, so their granularity of update is small. Aggregate rows are updated when each job step completes, so their granularity of update is large.
Table 22-2 describes the columns in V$SESSION_LONGOPS
that are most relevant for RMAN. Typically, you view the detail rows rather than the aggregate rows to determine the progress of each backup set.

The server session ID corresponding to an RMAN channel |

The server session serial number. This value changes each time a server session is reused. |

Each server session performing a backup or restore job reports its progress compared to the total work required for a job step. For example, if you restore the database with two channels, and each channel has two backup sets to restore (a total of four sets), then each server session reports its progress through a single backup set. When a set is completely restored, RMAN begins reporting progress on the next set to restore.
To monitor RMAN job progress:
Before starting the RMAN job, create a script file (called, for this example, longops
) containing the following SQL statement:
Start RMAN and connect to the target database and recovery catalog (if used).
Start an RMAN job. For example, enter:
While the RMAN job is running, start SQL*Plus and connect to the target database, and execute the longops
script to check the progress of the RMAN job. If you repeat the query while the RMAN job progresses, then you see output such as the following:
If you run the longops
script at intervals of 2 minutes or more and the %
_COMPLETE
column does not increase, then RMAN is encountering a problem. See"Monitoring RMAN Interaction with the Media Manager" to obtain more information.
If you frequently monitor the execution of long-running tasks, then you could create a shell script or batch file under your host operating system that runs SQL*Plus to execute this query repeatedly.
FILESPERSET integer |
Specifies the maximum number of input files to include in each output backup set. This parameter is only relevant when BACKUP generates backup sets. RMAN backs up the files in each The RMAN behavior is illustrated by the following
BACKUP AS BACKUPSET (DATAFILE 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) (DATAFILE 8, 9);
BACKUP AS BACKUPSET DATAFILE 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9;
BACKUP AS BACKUPSET DATAFILE 3, ... 72;
In the first command, RMAN places data files 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 into one backup set and data files 8 and 9 into another backup set. In the second command, RMAN places all data files into one backup set. In the third command, the ellipses indicate data files 3 through 72. Because in this case RMAN is backing up 70 data files, RMAN places 64 files in one backup set and 6 in another. By default, RMAN divides files among backup sets to make optimal use of channel resources. The number of files to be backed up is divided by the number of channels. If the result is less than 64, then this number is the Note: You cannot specify the number of backup pieces that are in a backup set. |
