Backup & Recovery :: Archived Log In Only One Folder
Mar 10, 2011
I have recently installed a oracle 11g r2 standard edition in aix 6.1.database is on archive log but archived log is generated in daily different folder named after date on system.
i want to generate all archive log in only one folder.
Backup entire database, without archived logs, while the database is open for user activity and also This backup should be the base for an incremental backup strategy.
RUN {ALLOCATE CHANNEL CH0 TYPE 'sbt_tape'; BACKUP DATABASE FORCE PLUS ARCHIVELOG FORCE NOT BACKED UP DELETE INPUT; RELEASE CHANNEL CH0; }
Then I ran the restore, it failed with Quote:RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log....
When I backup archivelogs and choose to delete the input, it does not delete the multiplexed copy, but the specific file being backed up.So, ideally it should find it in Flah Area or at least in the backed up pieces which are there with it.Still why is it failing?
Also, in recovery, it is deleting the archived log after applying, RMAN does this if we use recover... delete archivelog command.I am using only RECOVER, still in output I can see RMAN deleting the log after it has applied it. WHY?
ORA-16038: log 2 sequence# 284 cannot be archived ORA-19809: limit exceeded for recovery files ORA-00312: online log 2 thread 1: /redo02.log' USER (ospid: 792): terminating the instance due to error 16038 Fri Nov 02 13:14:19 2012 System state dump requested by (instance=1, osid=792), summary=[abnormal instance termination].

I ran into the message RMAN-08138: WARNING: archived log not deleted - must create more backups during a backup. From what I understand this is caused when logs are removed that are needed for recovery.

i perform logminer in os (window xp and oracle linux 6) both. all the operation are successfully completed but at last i found the same error in both os. the error is
SQL> create table myLogAnalysis as select * from v$logmnr_contents; select * from v$logmnr_contents * ERROR at line 3: ORA-00310: archived log contains sequence 12; sequence 9 required ORA-00334: archived log:'/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/orcl/redo02.log'
Opening the database with manually copied oracle data folders and files. Due to my server crashed we were forced to format the system. In that my friend by mistake copied the oracle folder (All data files, redo log files) manually instead of taking a backup in a procedural manner. Now we need to restore all the data. Would it be possible to restore the data with copied data file. If so how?
I'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?
Assuming you have a 9i database . where you have it enabled in archive mode , yet constantly deleting the archived redo logs , due to space constraints .
Will you be able to perform a full level 0 backup , and the following incremental backups , in the absence of the archived redo logs ? And are these incremental backups enough to recover the database or particular data files , to the point of the backup itself at least ?
Backup your entire database, without archived logs, while the database is open for user activity. This backup should be the base for an incremental backup strategy
URL....I'm practicing for the OCP test and one of the questions is that there is a backup from yesterday and the last archived logs are from the day before yesterday not mentioned if it's cold or hot backup.
If its a cold backup - cant we recover it? is it a must to have the archived redo logs also when recovering a cold backup? That sounds not logical since those logs are made only for a hot backup. URL.....
We are trying to restore a database on the different server using RAM incremental level 0 and 1 backups. We have weekly Incremental level 0 backups along with incremental backups on daily basis. During recovery of Incremental level 0 backup, RMAN is expecting/looking for Incremental Level 0 backup of prior week as well. Is this the usual process for RMAN to look for prior level 0 backup though we need to restore from the current level 0 backup and roll forward by a week with subsequent Level 1 backup.?
We intend to restore from the Level 0 of 1/16 and roll forward with daily incrementals till 1/22. RMAN is expecting level 0 backupsets from 1/9 backup as well and keep failing since those backups are not available. quick inputs since we are in middle of recovery and trying to resolve if this is even doable.
I have problem on using "delete obsolete" in RMAN.
First, let describe my backup configuration.
1. Full backup every Monday (17-Oct, 10-Oct, 3-Oct, 26-Sep) 2. Incremental backup for other days 3. Enable autobackup of control file 4. Backup archive log every day 5. RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 30 DAYS 6. Execute "Delete obsolete" every day 7. control file is used instead of catalog
The results observed: 1. Backup of control files older than 30 days will be deleted 2. Backup of archive log files older than 30 days will be deleted. 3. Backup of datafiles older than ~14 days but before 30 days are also DELETED.
In my example, the backup of datafiles created at 26-Sep is deleted at 16-Oct.
I tried "restore database validate until time "sysdate-22"" at 17-Oct. And RMAN reported "datafile xx will be created automatically during restore operation". It seems that RMAN failed to do restoration up to 22 days ago. The retention policy I set seems not effective on datafile backups.
I checked view v$backup_set and the "Keep" is "No" and "Keep until" is empty.
The only thing I can think of, is the settings of "CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME". It is marked "7" in the Oracle, which is less than the retention. But I suppose this only causes the backup not deleted, but NOT be deleted earlier.
I have 2 seperate rman backup one backup is of only datafile ,spfile and controlfile which i am able to restore and recover without any problem say bkp1 taken at 10 am
other set of backup is of only archive log files of same day but later time than datafile backup say bkp2 taken at 8pm...if i restore and recover bkp1 and try to restore bkp2 it gives error datafile exist (possibly due to fact both backup have control file)
if i just restore bkp1 and try to restore bkp2 so that i can do one recover at time it gives error datafile permission issue (possibly due to fact both backup have control file)
I want to restore database upto 8pm time how can i use both bkp1 and bkp2 to do it(restore datafiles and apply all archive logs on it)

I run DLY cold backups including controlfile & archivelogs and keep 3 gens of backups and archivelogs to 3 days also. What is the correct procedure to restore back to an old cold backup. Database is backed up Mon,Tue,Wed on Thur we require to bring database back to Tuesday DLY security.
I have tried: startup mount restore database from tag 'DLYTUE' recover database
( this just rolls forward on all archive logs once it restores datafiles, not getting to point to alter database open resetlogs.)
Next tried to :
recover database archivelog tag 'DLYTUE' ( same outcome )
What is the correct rman procedure including should I remove old archive logs from working OS directory ? Also need to know once I restore back and open database to TUE security how do you tidy up the archive logs and dumps which are no longer require i.e. : weds..
I have read about using the set until time option but how to I get absolute time from when cold backup completed if this is the correct procedure.
I just switched my STBDY DB to a PRIMARY DB and I am ran the following:
RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog old RMAN configuration parameters: CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY; new RMAN configuration parameters: CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored ORA-00245: control file backup operation failed

RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name ORARZULB are: CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 30 DAYS; CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; [code]....
what causes this warning and how to get rid of it?
While connecting to target database from stand database. I am getting below error.

Backup-Based Duplication Without a Target and a Recovery Catalog Connection?
My database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.I took whole DB backup ( cold).Then just after half an hour I ran following script.
RMAN> RUN { RESTORE DATABASE;RECOVER DATABASE;alter database open;}
Starting restore at 24-FEB-12 using target database control file instead of recovery catalog allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1 channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=133 device type=DISK channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backup set restore

[code]...
Why do I need to specify an option at the first place?As my redo is intact, it is not incomplete recovery and, I do not want to generate new incarnation of my database.Why oracle simply not opening my database?
