RMAN : CONTROLFILE AUTO BACKUP

Recovery Manager (RMAN) is the Oracle-preferred method and a command-line  utility for efficiently backing up and recovering an Oracle database. RMAN is designed to work intimately with the server, providing block-level corruption detection during backup and restore. RMAN optimizes performance and space consumption during backup with file multiplexing and backup-set compression, and integrates with Oracle Secure Backup and third-party media-management products for tape backup.

RMAN takes care of all underlying database procedures before and after backup or restore, removing dependency on OS and SQL*Plus scripts. It provides a common interface for backup tasks across different host operating-systems, and offers features not available through user-managed methods, such as parallelization of backup/recovery data streams, backup-files retention policy, and detailed history of all backups.

RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # defaultCONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%D'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\DB_01\DATABASE\SSKPROD.ORA'; # default

OR ultimately we can supply this command.

RMAN>  SHOW CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP;

RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF;

By default CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP is OFF. But it is recommended enabling CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON.

To perform control file auto backup following command used: 

RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
