Backup & Recovery :: No RMAN Records In Control File
Dec 7, 2012
We're running 10.2.0.4 Database on AIX with no catalog Database.We keep all the backup info in controlfiles only.When we do that backup, we're able to successfully back it up (including archivelogs). But I'm unable to find any records in the controlfiles.
SQL> select * from V$BACKUP_SET;
no rows selected

SQL> sho parameter control

This is what I run
run {
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/dd_oraback/tkprod/%F';
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 22 DAYS;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
[code]...
So /dd_oraback is a Data Domain mount. Not sure if that makes any difference or not.

Can the control file be used to store scripts which are used to perform backups? I know the RMAN recovery catalog can.
Does the SHOW command display detailed reporting on the RMAN catalog contents other than configuration information?

How one should know whether RMAN is using target database control file or using separate catalog database. Also what one should do if he dont have catalog users credentials.

Suppose I take a multi stream backup, say 3 streams.
So if a control file is backed up in say backup set 1, so is the whole control file is backed up in one backup piece or it may span multiple pieces?
A backup set may have multiple backup pieces.

I want to ask if I restore a control file from backup of say day2 and I recover till day1 using RMAN script, then what will be the state of my database? I mean day2 control file may be having SCN-Day2, and I am instructing RMAN to recover till past point in time that is SCN-Day1.

I 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.

I've recently moved jobs and am doing a lot of the normal things getting familiar with my new company's databases.I was checking through our production backup logs and came across something that looks a little funny. From the last two days backups, I see:
select completion_time, marked_corrupt, media_corrupt, logically_corrupt
from v$backup_datafile
where controlfile_type = 'B'
order by completion_time desc
COMPLETION_TIME MARKED_CORRUPT MEDIA_CORRUPT LOGICALLY_CORRUPT

The 01:40 record will come from our nightly command:
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0 FILESPERSET=20 FORMAT 'full_%d_%t_%s_%p'
DATABASE INCLUDE CURRENT CONTROLFILE
The 11AM records will come from the command:
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0 FORMAT 'ctl_%t_%s_%p' CURRENT CONTROLFILE;
(I know backups shouldn't still be running at 11am and we don't need level 0 backups every night, that's a seperate issue I'll be addressing! ) I see there's been a similar entry here in v$backup_datafile for all backups that there's records for. The database is up and running just fine. There are no unusual errors being reported by the database in OEM or the alert log.I tried looking at both our control files (yes, should have 3 - something else I've listed to change!) with dbverify which showed no issues - though I'm not sure if this is designed to work with control files.
If so, how could I confirm whether it's an issue with a specific controlfile (I'm assuming it's not an issue with the backup to tape itself, as it's reporting the same corruption every day)?I'd obviously like to diagnose this now while the db is up and running, rather than at 4am some morning during a crash and finding out my backup control files are no good!

Could we skip the backup of the above missing files using RMAN -> backup database skip inaccessible;On further research, this would compromise tablespace SYSAUX recoverability...Questions:
1) What caused the above missing files to get created?
2) What is recommended: Recover the datafiles?

I've pasted some of the results of an RMAN backup that I ran. It says that it's backing up both the Control File and the SPFILE, but it appears that only one file is being created. Is this correct? How does this work? Are both files combined into the C-3843121877-20120619-00 file?

Also, regarding the below configuration of RMAN - I can change this directory to whatever I want, correct? In other words, is it just the directory where I am putting the backup?

We are trying to restore a database to a cold backup DBID.However while our datafiles were backuped up for 6 months retention we found out subsequent delete obsolete command wiped out the Control file related to this backup piece..Now what is left with this backup piece is just datafiles..
Can we still recover the database with a subsequent controlfile autobackup for the same DBID.?

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?
