RC_PROXY_DATAFILE

This view contains descriptions of data file backups that were taken using the proxy copy functionality. It corresponds to the V$PROXY_DATAFILE view.

In a proxy copy, the media manager takes over the operations of backing up and restoring data. Each row represents a backup of one database file.

Column	Data Type	Description
`DB_KEY`	`NUMBER`	The primary key for the target database. Use this column to join with almost any other catalog view.
`DBINC_KEY`	`NUMBER`	The primary key for the incarnation of the target database. Use this column to join with `RC_DATABASE_INCARNATION`.
`DB_NAME`	`VARCHAR2(8)`	The `DB_NAME` of the database incarnation to which this record belongs.
`XDF_KEY`	`NUMBER`	The proxy copy primary key in the recovery catalog. If you issue the `LIST` command while RMAN is connected to the recovery catalog, then this value appears in the `KEY` column of the output.
`RECID`	`NUMBER`	The proxy copy record identifier from `V$PROXY_DATAFILE`. `RECID` and `STAMP` form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file.
`STAMP`	`NUMBER`	The proxy copy stamp from `V$PROXY_DATAFILE`. `RECID` and `STAMP` form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file.
`TAG`	`VARCHAR2(32)`	The tag for the proxy copy.
`FILE#`	`NUMBER`	The absolute file number of the data file that is proxy copied.
`CREATION_CHANGE#`	`NUMBER`	The data file creation SCN.
`CREATION_TIME`	`DATE`	The data file creation time.
`RESETLOGS_CHANGE#`	`NUMBER`	The SCN of the most recent `RESETLOGS` in the data file header.
`RESETLOGS_TIME`	`DATE`	The time stamp of the most recent `RESETLOGS` in the data file header.
`INCREMENTAL_LEVEL`	`NUMBER`	0 if this copy is part of an incremental backup strategy, otherwise `NULL`.
`CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#`	`NUMBER`	Checkpoint SCN when the copy was made.
`CHECKPOINT_TIME`	`DATE`	Checkpoint time when the copy was made.
`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 IMMEDIATE` (or is a copy of a copy which was taken improperly while the database was open). Recovery must 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` backup method. To make this copy consistent, recovery must apply all redo up to the marker that is placed in the redo stream when the `ALTER TABLESPACE END BACKUP` statement is issued.
`BLOCKS`	`NUMBER`	Size of the data file copy in blocks (also the size of the data file when the copy was made).
`BLOCK_SIZE`	`NUMBER`	The block size for the copy in bytes.
`DEVICE_TYPE`	`VARCHAR2(255)`	The type of sequential media device.
`HANDLE`	`VARCHAR2(1024)`	The name or "handle" for the proxy copy. RMAN passes this value to the operating system-dependent layer that identifies the file.
`COMMENTS`	`VARCHAR2(255)`	Comments about the proxy copy.
`MEDIA`	`VARCHAR2(80)`	A comment that contains further information about the media manager that created this backup.
`MEDIA_POOL`	`NUMBER`	The number of the media pool in which the proxy copy is stored.
`START_TIME`	`DATE`	The time when proxy copy was initiated.
`COMPLETION_TIME`	`DATE`	The time when the proxy copy was completed.
`ELAPSED_SECONDS`	`NUMBER`	The duration of the proxy copy.
`STATUS`	`VARCHAR2(1)`	The status of the backup set: `A` (available), `U` (unavailable), `X` (expired), or `D` (deleted).
`KEEP`	`VARCHAR2(3)`	Indicates whether this proxy copy has a retention policy different from the value for `CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY` (`YES` or `NO`).
`KEEP_UNTIL`	`DATE`	If the `KEEP UNTIL TIME` clause of the `BACKUP` command was specified, then this column shows the date after which this data file backup becomes obsolete. If the column is `NULL` and `KEEP` `OPTIONS` is not `NULL`, the backup never becomes obsolete.
`KEEP_OPTIONS`	`VARCHAR2(11)`	The `KEEP` options specified for this backup. Possible values are `NOLOGS`, `BACKUP_LOGS`, `LOGS`, and `NULL`. `NOLOGS` indicates a consistent backup made when the database was mounted. `BACKUP_LOGS` indicates that the backup was made in open mode, so archived log backups must be applied to make it consistent. `LOGS` indicates a long-term backup made with the `LOGS` keyword, which is now deprecated. `NULL` indicates that this backup has no `KEEP` options and becomes obsolete based on the retention policy.
`RSR_KEY`	`NUMBER`	Unique key for the row in `RC_RMAN_STATUS` corresponding to the job that created this proxy copy.
`SITE_KEY`	`NUMBER`	Primary key of the Data Guard database associated with this file. Each database in a Data Guard environment has a unique `SITE_KEY` value. You can use `SITE_KEY` in a join with the `RC_SITE` view to obtain the `DB_UNIQUE_NAME` of the database.
`FOREIGN_DBID`	`NUMBER`	Foreign DBID of the database from which this data file was transported. The value is `0` if the file backed up is not a foreign database file.
`PLUGGED_READONLY`	`VARCHAR2(3)`	`YES` if this is a proxy copy of a transported read-only foreign file; otherwise `NO`.
`PLUGIN_CHANGE#`	`NUMBER`	SCN at which the foreign data file was transported into the database. The value is `0` if this file is not a foreign database file.
`PLUGIN_RESETLOGS_CHANGE#`	`NUMBER`	The SCN of the `RESETLOGS` operation for the incarnation into which this foreign file was transported. The value is `0` if this file is not a foreign database file.
`PLUGIN_RESETLOGS_TIME`	`DATE`	The time of the `RESETLOGS` operation for the incarnation into which this foreign file was transported. The value is `0` if this file is not a foreign database file.
