Does "crosscheck" apply if you're not using a catalog?
SuSE Linux 11 x86-64
Oracle DB 12.1.0.2 EE
Is there any benefit to issuing "crosscheck archivelog all" (or any crosscheck command) if you are not using a recovery catalog? Doesn't it validate physical reality of backups against the backup info in the controlfile when not using a catalog?
Please advise, and thank you for your time,
Humbly,
