| DB_KEY | NUMBER | The primary key for this database. | 
| DB_NAME | VARCHAR2(8) | The DB_NAMEof the database incarnation to which this record belongs. | 
| SESSION_KEY | NUMBER | Session identifier. Use in joins with RC_RMAN_OUTPUT. | 
| SESSION_RECID | NUMBER | Together with SESSION_KEY and SESSION_STAMP, used to uniquely identify job's output from RC_RMAN_OUTPUT | 
| SESSION_STAMP | NUMBER | Together with SESSION_RECID and SESSION_KEY, used to uniquely identify job's output from RC_RMAN_OUTPUT | 
| OPERATION | VARCHAR2(33) | The possible values are BACKUP , ROLLFORWARD, VALIDATE, or BACKUPSET. For each operation type in a session, the view contains one row with each value representing all operations of that type during the session. | 
| COMMAND_ID | VARCHAR2(33) | Either a user-specified value set using SET COMMAND ID, or an RMAN-generated unique command id. | 
| START_TIME | DATE | Start time of the first backup command in the job | 
| END_TIME | DATE | End time of the last backup job in the job. | 
| INPUT_BYTES | NUMBER | Sum of sizes of all input files backed up during this job. | 
| OUTPUT_BYTES | NUMBER | Sum of sizes of all output pieces generated by this job. | 
| STATUS_WEIGHT | NUMBER | Used internally by Enterprise Manager. | 
| OBJECT_TYPE_WEIGHT | NUMBER | Used internally by Enterprise Manager. | 
| OPTIMIZED_WEIGHT | NUMBER | Used internally by Enterprise Manager. | 
| OUTPUT_DEVICE_TYPE | VARCHAR2(17) | 'DISK', 'SBT_TAPE' or '*'. A '*' indicates a backup job that wrote its output to more than one device type. | 
| AUTOBACKUP_DONE | VARCHAR2(3) | 'YES' or 'NO', depending upon whether a control file autobackup was done as part of this job. | 
| STATUS | VARCHAR2(23) | One of the following values: RUNNING WITH WARNINGS, RUNNING WITH ERRORS, ' COMPLETED', 'COMPLETED WITH WARNINGS', 'COMPLETED WITH ERRORS', 'FAILED | 
| INPUT_TYPE | VARCHAR2(13) | Contains one of the following values: DATABASE FULL, RECOVERY AREA, DATABASE INCR, DATAFILE FULL, DATAFILE INCR, ARCHIVELOG, CONTROLFILE, SPFILE. When a subjob includes backups corresponding to more than one of these values, multiple rows will appear in the view, corresponding to the different INPUT_TYPE values for each type of input, with corresponding values for the INPUT_BYTES, OUTPUT_BYTES, INPUT_BYTES_DISPLAY, OUTPUT_BYTES_DISPLAY fields. | 
| OPTIMIZED | VARCHAR2(3) | If OPERATION=BACKUP, then OPTIMIZED is 'YES' or 'NO', depending on whether backup optimization was applied. | 
| AUTOBACKUP_COUNT | NUMBER | Number of autobackups performed by this job. | 
| COMPRESSION_RATIO | NUMBER | Compression ratio for this backup. | 
| INPUT_BYTES_DISPLAY | VARCHAR2(4000) | Same value as INPUT_BYTES, but converted to a user-displayable format, for example nM, nG, nT, nP. | 
| OUTPUT_BYTES_DISPLAY | VARCHAR2(4000) | Same value as OUTPUT_BYTES, but converted to a user-displayable format, for example nM, nG, nT, nP. |
