Configure command is used in RMAN. This is used to configure the parameters for the RMAN database to work while taking backups and doing recoveries.Like:

1. configure controlfile autobackup on;
2. configure retention policy to redundancy 2;

CONFIGURE allows you to set options and have the setting stick around (persistence)

common things to set:
SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME
RETENTION POLICY
CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE
CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP

See what is set (or standing default values now)
SHOW ALL;

assumes the use of a recovery catalog
