BCT- block changt track, is the technology used by oracle, if BCT is enabled, when
ever a DB block is changed or data added in the Datafile(DF) then the corresponding
block details are added to a text file by a background process called CTWR, the use
of doing all this is that when ever u issue rman backup the rman directly reads the
text file and backup those particular blocks and this would reduce processing speed
and increases backup speed,
If BCT is not enabled, the rman has to read every datafile and check for those
changed block then reads those blocka and backup them this is very cumbersome
process.

ALTER DATABASE ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING USING FILE

'/u03/oracle/AUGCLN/db/apps_st/data/bct.log';

alter database enable block change tracking using file

'/u03/oracle/AUGCLN/db/apps_st/data/block_change_tracking.dbf';

Block change tracking file is current.

Starting background process CTWR
Sun Nov 13 11:23:47 2016
CTWR started with pid=21, OS id=20131
Sun Nov 13 11:24:05 2016
Block change tracking service is active.

And the new CTWR process will be created to track the changes:

[oracle@localhost ~]$ ps -ef | grep ctwr
