Oracle Database Administration II — Question 59

Which two are true about Recovery Manager (RMAN) diagnostic message output? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Media Management messages for SBT devices are always written to sbtio.log.
• B. RMAN error stacks should be read from the bottom up as that is the order in which errors are generated.
• C. RMAN error stacks should be read from the top down as that is the order in which errors are generated.
• D. The RMAN LOG command line clause causes output issued during RMAN command compilation to be written to a log file and to standard output.
• E. The RMAN LOG command line clause causes output issued during RMAN command compilation to be written to a log file only.
• F. Media Management messages for SBT devices are written to an Oracle trace file.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers are B and E. Option B is accurate because RMAN error stacks do need to be read from the bottom up to understand the order of errors. Option E is correct as the RMAN LOG command only directs output to a log file. The other options are incorrect as they either misrepresent the reading order of error stacks or the output behavior of the RMAN LOG command.
