connect target /

run
{
ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE type disk;
delete NOPROMPT backup of database completed before 'sysdate -1';
release channel;
}

what is wrong in the above script. its not running via crontab.

shall i mix up this maintenance channel allocation with taking backup also.

Regards
KS


The error is
RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel for maintenance device type disk;

Or
allocate channel for maintenance device type disk "OEM_DEK";

Both the above syntax giving error. Oracle document telling the same.

Try to allocate the maintenance channel outside of the RUN block.
