Backup & Recovery :: Restore From Newer Control File And Archived Redo Log Files?
Mar 29, 2011I've got a legacy SAP system with oracle 8i on Tru64. No changes at all are made but for legal reasons we have to keep it up and running.
we currently do a full backup monthly by shutting down oracle and doing a backup of all the files to tape and that takes around 12 hours.
If I stop doing the full backup and I only backup the control file and the archived redo log files every month and I had to restore the full database years from now, would I be able to restore the database using the last full monthly backup and use the latest control file and archived redo log files?

Backup & Recovery :: Redo Log Volume
May 22, 2011I was asked by my systems administrator if I could tell him how much redo log volume, on average, do I figure we generate in a day?
Just wondering how I might calculate this?
We have several production databases. If I wanted to calculate the above for one of them, would it be take all the redo logs for a day and total up the size in bytes? Maybe take a 5 day work week and take the average over the 5 days?

Backup & Recovery :: Restore DB From Control Files Using Symantec Backup Exec
Jun 10, 2013I am having a issue, we are trying to restore our db from control files using Symantec Backup exec, but job fails giving me error go to table spaces select all table spaces and unchecked roll forward.
i am unable to find way to uncheck the table spaces. Here is the complete description.
Cause
The system catalog tablespace "syscatspace" contains all of the system catalog information for the tables. Syscatspace needs to be rolled forward first, and then the other tablespaces must be rolled forward.
Solution
Workaround:
When the restore operation is run from a tablespace level backup, perform the rollforward for the syscatspace tablespace first and then for other tablespaces.
Execute the rollforward operation as a DBA operation. The sequence of the recovery process should be as follows:
1. Select all tablespaces, uncheck the rollforward option and run the restore job.
2. Run the rollforward operation as a DBA initiated operation:
rollforward syscatspace to point in time / end of logs. e.g. db2 => rollforward database UEXIT to end of logs and complete Tablespace (SYSCATSPACE) online
3. Perform rollforward of all other tablespaces.
e.g. db2 => rollforward database UEXIT to end of logs and complete tablespace (SYSTOO LSPACE,USERSPACE1) online
Refer to IBM DB2 documentation for more information on DBA-initiated operations.
Backup & Recovery :: Changing Location Of Data And Temp Files From Auto-backup Of Control-file?
Jan 26, 2012I have an oracle autoback of controlfile and spfile. I am trying to restore the production database using this backup, into a new server with a different directory structure.
I have completed the following steps in the restore process.
1. Creating a pfile from spfile
2. Changing the the location of cdump, udump, bdump and the control files ( there are three )
3. Then creating a spfile from this pfile
I am stuck on the next step where to rename all the datafiles and tempfile and restore the database. Following is what I did.
After mounting the database in RMAN, tried to run the following.
RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel c1 device type disk
4> ;
5> @/home/oracle/rman_scripts/newloc.rman
6> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/system01.dbf';
7> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/undotbs01.dbf';
8> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 3 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/sysaux01.dbf';
9> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 4 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/users01.dbf';
[code]....
I am getting the following error message.

Backup & Recovery :: Is Non Full Redo Is Resumed After Forceful Log Switch
Aug 23, 2011Just wanted to know if I do
ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
Then it archives the current redo and switches to next redo.
If again switching is done, then just wanted to know if redo is archived when its size is less than log_buffer, then is it resumed when it is switched into next time or after archiving it creates a empty redo file and then use it?
Backup & Recovery :: Querying V$archived_logs To Backup ARC Files?
Nov 28, 2011When we backup .arc files we issue a RMAN command similiar to this:
KEEP_ARCHIVE_HOURS=2
rman <<EOT
connect target ....
connect catalog ...
sql "alter system archive log current";
[code]....
The problem is at times there may not be any archive files that meet this criteria and RMAN throws an error
RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20242: specification does not match any archived log in the recovery catalog
I was considering using the following code to see if there are any available .arc files that meet the backup criteria.
set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off echo off;
select count(1) from v$archived_log where
COMPLETION_TIME < sysdate-$KEEP_ARCHIVE_HOURS/24
and backup_count = 0 and name is not null;
While testing on several systems, I found that the above-mentioned query picked up some redo-logs (*.rdo) I can only assume that these redo logs were used for a DB recovery.
/u05/oradata/dmartdev/redo_01a.rdo120724-JUL-1125-SEP-11
/u15/oradata/dmartdev/redo_01b.rdo120724-JUL-1125-SEP-11
/u06/oradata/dmartdev/redo_02a.rdo120824-JUL-1125-SEP-11
/u16/oradata/dmartdev/redo_02b.rdo120824-JUL-1125-SEP-11
/u07/oradata/dmartdev/redo_03a.rdo120324-JUL-1125-SEP-11
[code]....
I have a few questions:
1) Is my assumtion correct about the .rdo files in the v$archived_logs table
2) I would hate to add special logic and look for something like name substr(name, *.arc) (pardon the syntax). Therefore, is there a way to get rid of these *.rdo files?
Backup & Recovery :: RMAN Hot Backup Plus Archive Log Files?
Jan 11, 2008I had a production db with archive logging enabled

D:ORACLEARCHIVE_ORCL11_14.DBF A
D:ORACLEARCHIVE_ORCL11_15.DBF A
[code]...
So i need to restore archivelogs by using sequence
RMAN>RESTORE ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 20 UNTIL SEQUENCE 28;
So the restore is completed successfully
So its very hard to monitor archivelog files
i feel i should have included all archivelog files while taking RMAN backup
RMAN >backup database plus archivelog all delete input;
but the problem is my RMAN backup is already 360GB in size and it takes 4-5 hrs to complete .so i need to schedule RMAN backup at one time (e.g sunday) ,delete the archivelog files older than sundayand now schedule the archivelog backup at another day (e.g wed &sat)
my question is where i have to change my script to backup all avaialbe archivelog files if old archivelog files are deleted at os level?
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel c1 type disk;
3> sql 'alter system archive log current';
4> backup archivelog all format 'D:oracleackuplog_t%t_s%s_p%p' delete input;
5> release channel c1;

Backup & Recovery :: Backup Archive Log Files
Aug 4, 2011I have one question to clarify regarding backup.

Backup & Recovery :: Understanding FRA Files
May 4, 2011I have been experimenting with RMAN over the past few days and have a fairly strong grasp on it. I setup a test scenario using a three tier incremental approach as follows:
Every four weeks take level 0
Every 7 days take level 1
Every day take level 2
Obviously I'm only taking one per day, so on days I take a level 0, I'm not taking a level 1 or 2. My scripts look similar to the following, with change to incremental level number.
rman target / <<EOF
run {
configure device type disk parallelism 4 backup type to compressed backupset;
configure default device type to disk;
configure backup optimization off;
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure retention policy to recovery window of 4 days;
[code]......
What I'm trying to understand is what files Oracle is creating in the flash recovery area. I have several sets of files:
In the root level of the FRA, I see several files per incremental backup with names such as aambg4sa_1_1, aqmbg5mj_1_1, b6mbg614_1_1, etc. I was under the impression that these were the incremental backup pieces, multiple files because I'm using parallelism of 4.
Under a /FRA/<SID> I see 3 directories: archivelog, autobackup, and backupset. I assume arhivelog is where Oracle is archiving the redo logs, autobackup is storing the SPFILE and CONTROLFILE as I have enabled controlfile autobackup. However, what is being stored in backupset?
When I do a crosscheck, it lists the files within backupset, but does not list the several files under the root of FRA (b6mbg614_1_1 and so on).
What's the difference between /FRA/<SID>/backupset and the files under root FRA? Do I need both for recovery - and if not, why is Oracle keeping both?
Backup & Recovery :: How To Recover Database Having Only DBF And CTL Files
Oct 15, 2013I have the following situation: a customer sent me a group of files, that he said to be a "backup" of an old database, that is no longer online (he doesn´t use our software anymore). However, he needs to recover the data in this database. The person at the company who generate these files doesn´t work there anymore, so we don´t have any of the following information:
- Database version, connection details, service names, user names neither tablespace names.
We were just told that these files were recorded in a DVD, and is que only source remaining.
The files he sent are the following:
ctrlcf_satp_01.ctl
ctrlcf_satp_02.ctl
ctrlcf_satp_03.ctl
daddf_satp_dad_01.dbf
[code]......
Is there a way to access this data? Or can I tell our costumer that your data is lost forever..

Feb 13, 2012I had a database on an old P4 running but the motherboard got fried. I was able to recover all the data files (.ctl and *.dbf) plus the redo logs (.log). There is no export or backup taken - I have old ones, but I need to recover the latest which only existed in the data files.
I now have Oracle installed on a new P5 machine and was wondering if it is possible to use these data files in the new database? If so, how do I go by restoring the data files?
Both the P4 and P5 where running Red Hat Linux.

Backup & Recovery :: Database Session For Channel Sbt_4 Terminated Unexpectedly
Feb 23, 2012Backup for database has been working fine until today.
Today, about 1/3 of the way through the backup (large database), I got this...
RMAN-12005: error during channel cleanup
RMAN-10038: database session for channel sbt_4 terminated unexpectedly
...and the backup died.
Never seen before and the research I've done online has been less than useful. This database is an SAP/oracle db with brtools 7.20 (22) and is using the new parameter in its init.sap file, called "_rman_chan_failo = yes", to address disagreement between brtools and oracle about channel drops being ok if all datafiles backed up.
Nothing in the alert log at the time of this error.

2) If "No" to the above answer then how can i fetch all select statements fired on the system for a day or particular time.
