RMAN Backup Compression - Am I using Advanced Compression

611900May 1 2011 — edited May 1 2011
Hello I want to confirm one thing -

I have 11.1.0.7 database and when I look at the setting of RMAN Compression by using "SHOW ALL" it shows me result like this -

CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'BZIP2'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET;

My question is, If I am using COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'BZIP2' in 11.1.0.7 database does it mean that I am using Oracle Advanced Compression option?

or this is a native compression option by oracle which is free.


Thanks!

Hi;

Yes you need to verify all prereq package for your installation. You could have never package which doc mention and you can hit warning message during installation so you can ignore them.
