RMAN Backup Status in 9i

Question

friends!
I am working on two different database versions (9i and 10g). Both databases backup are being taken through RMAN. Usually, i can find the backup status in 10g through sql command but same option is not found in 9i. I am using this command in 10g for backup status either its failed or success:
SELECT JD.COMMAND_ID,JD.STATUS,JD.OUTPUT_DEVICE_TYPE,JD.START_TIME,JD.TIME_TAKEN_DISPLAY,JD.END_TIME--,JD.*
FROM V$RMAN_BACKUP_JOB_DETAILS JD;
How i can found the same information in 9i?
Quick response will highly appreciate.
regards

Irfan,
Ok. Have you checked my earlier link which i provided. Since right now i do'nt any db but :
You can query the following views:
GV_$BACKUP_ASYNC_IO VIEW
GV_$BACKUP_SYNC_IO VIEW
V_$BACKUP_ASYNC_IO VIEW
V_$BACKUP_SYNC_IO VIEW
use v$session_longops;
select round(sofar/totalwork,2) pct,
sofar,
totalwork,
message
from v$session_longops
where totalwork !=0
and sofar!=totalwork
and opname like 'RMAN%'
You can join or subquery v$session to make sure you only have active sessions queried.
If rman fails, the longops table will still show the results but they won't progress, even after rman disconnects.
select round(sofar/totalwork,2) pct,
sofar,
totalwork,
message
from v$session_longops
where totalwork !=0
and sofar!=totalwork
and opname like 'RMAN%'
and sid in (select sid from v$session where status = 'ACTIVE');
