# Disabling RMAN Warnings from RMAN Output

You can restrict the types of warnings RMAN reports in the output for backup and restore jobs. By default, RMAN reports warnings, and the job is reported as ‘Completed With Errors’ when these warnings are detected.

You can restrict the level of warnings to report in the output:

- All RMAN warnings for a client group

- A specified list of RMAN warnings for a client group

- All RMAN warnings for one client

- A specified list of RMAN warnings for one client

By default, the Commvault software ignores these RMAN warnings:

- RMAN-07529 | Reason: catalog is not supported for this file type

- RMAN-08138 | warning: archived log not deleted - must create more backups

- RMAN-08120 | warning: archived log not deleted, not yet applied by standby

- RMAN-08591 | warning: invalid archived log deletion policy

- RMAN-08137 | warning: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process

- RMAN-06060 | warning: skipping datafile compromises tablespace string recoverability

This means that these warnings are ignored and jobs will be marked as complete even if these warnings are generated during a job. You can use the setting sIGNORE_RMAN_WARNINGLIST to customize this list to meet your requirements.

You can use the following settings to configure the handling of RMAN warnings:

- The sIGNORERMANWARNINGS setting directs the software to ignore all RMAN warnings and mark the job as Completed. If you do not set this additional setting, the system marks jobs that have RMAN warnings that are not part of the default list as Completed with Errors (CWE).

- The sIGNORE_RMAN_WARNINGLIST setting directs the software to ignore the RMAN warnings that you specify in this warning list. If the software detects a warning that is not on this list, the job is marked as Completed with Errors (CWE).

## Procedure

You can configure these settings for one client or for a client group.

### Configure a Setting for a Client Group

For instructions about adding a setting, see Adding a CommCell Setting.

- To the client group, add the setting as shown in the following table.

  Option | Additional Setting | Category | Type | Value
  --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
  Ignore all RMAN warnings | sIGNORERMANWARNINGS | OracleAgent | STRING | Y
  Ignore specified RMAN warnings | sIGNORE_RMAN_WARNINGLIST. | OracleAgent | STRING | RMAN-<number_rman_code1>,RMAN-<number_rman_code2> For example, to disable RMAN warning 06061, enter RMAN-06061 in the Value box.

### Configure a Setting for One Client

- To the Oracle client, add the setting as shown in the following table.

  Option | Additional Setting | Category | Type | Value
  --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
  Ignore all RMAN warnings | sIGNORERMANWARNINGS | OracleAgent | STRING | Y
  Ignore specified RMAN warnings | sIGNORE_RMAN_WARNINGLIST. | OracleAgent | STRING | RMAN-<number_rman_code1>,RMAN-<number_rman_code2> For example, to disable RMAN warning 06061, enter RMAN-06061 in the Value box.
