Hi,

Need a clarifications:

1) Setting MAXSETSIZE must have atleast the size of the SYSTEM tablespace? Am I right.

2) What is the use of it in real time production?

Thanks

1) NO
2) Specifies a maximum size for a backup set.

Muktha, may I offer some general advice? In the Oracle environment, you must always test and experiment. You can even do reverse engineering.
For example, with your first question, try it. The test takes a few seconds:

Hi John & Blackswan,

Thanks a lot,

1) Before I post it I tried with the full database backup. It shown me the error. Then I tried with the size of system tablespace, then it was succeeded.
So I wanted to check with the expert.

Now tell me why I got the error as same as above, and what is the solutions?

Thanks

RMAN-06183: datafile or datafile copy larger than MAXSETSIZE: file# %s %s
 *Cause: A BACKUP DATAFILE(copy) command specified the MAXSETSIZE operand too
         low.  The specified datafile is larger than MAXSETSIZE will allow.
 *Action: Increase MAXSETSIZE limit.

Regards
Michel
