Hello,
I am using an rman restore database validate. Wanted to know how the validation is done by the oracle.
Does it restore to some location and verify it ? or what it does ?
Thanks in advance.

From doc Database Backup and Recovery Reference, RESTORE command:
| Quote: | RESTORE... VALIDATE causes RMAN to select existing backups that it would use to perform a RESTORE operation, and scan them all to ensure that they are present and free of corruption.
|
| Quote: | VALIDATE: Lets RMAN decide which backup sets, datafile copies, and archived logs need to be restored, and then scans them to verify their contents. No files are restored. Use VALIDATE to verify that the backups required to restore the specified files are intact and usable.

Regards
Michel

One question, Michel..
What is the kind of archive logfile which the RMAN looks for if backup plus archivelog? The archive logfile in archive_destintion folder or the archive logfile within backup pieces? And can I delete/remove all of archive logfiles in archive folder after RMAN backup full plus archive logfile?
RMAN>run{
backup database plus archivelog;
delete noprompt obsolete;
}
Thank you for your clarification!

Thank you for your reply, Michel!
I am sorry for my obscure question. I meant that
1/ When I backup full with..
RMAN> run{
backup database plus archivelog;
}
It means that the RMAN would backup full plus all of available archive log files. However, when the DB crashs (assume that but I hope it never happen), I must use RMAN to restore and recovery DB. And, with the backup full at 10/02/2008, the DB crashs at 11/02/2008, what will happend if I delete all of archive log files at 10/02/2008 after I'd ran backup before?
To clarify, I make an example
SQL> archive log list
Database log mode Archive Mode
Automatic archival Enabled
Archive destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence 60
Next log sequence to archive 62
Current log sequence 62
SQL> show parameter log_archive_dest

Oap, sorry, I am stupid, instead of using RMAN to delete archivelog, I removed them by OS command, but it will be related the second and third question..
2/ Will the RMAN restore and recovery successfully if my DB will crash tomorrow?
3/ I delete all of archivelog files (or backup files) instead of using RMAN, the purpose that I did are decreasing my disk size (of course, I will copy them to the other storage), however, I did not really remove them. Some time in the future, if DB will be crashed, I think, I can copy them right back, and use the RMAN command crosscheck to determind all of backup and archive logfiles.
Am I wrong or right?
Thank you for your clarificaton!

you can restore archived redo logs manually if you
wish, in order to save the time needed to restoroe these files later during the RECOVER command, or if you want to store the restored archived redo log files in some new location.
RUN
{
SET ARCHIVELOG DESTINATION TO '/oracle/temp_restore';
RESTORE ARCHIVELOG ALL;
# restore and recover datafiles as needed
.
.
.
}
