Database is not in archivelog mode.

My goal:I want to recover the database based on the available files.
My approach:
Install new database.
ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE.
shutdown database.
Place available dbf files in the location for new database, replacing existing files.
edit trace file to create new controlfile. Script is:

how should i get DBID to recover my database after server crashed to restore it on new host.
i have only:
1) controlfile autobackup was on so i have control file and spfile.
2) copy of recent backup including archivelog files.
to restore and recover database with same name on new host i need to set DBID , then how should i get it?
how will you find your db is Corrupted or crashed. how will u recover it.

I have an application that writes blobs via pro*c. It is running at several sites without errors for a few years now. One of the newer sites has started reporting "ora-01578 ORACLE data block corrupted".
I've tried using rman backup validate - it does not report any errors.
I've tried using rman restore and recover to correct the problem.
I've tried deleting the file with the corrupt block and using rman restore and recover to recreate it.
In any of the above cases, I do not see any errors being encountered, and when I restart the application, it works for a while and then starts reporting "ora-01578 ORACLE data block corrupted".
I've had the client do a physical check of the disk and it indicated the media was okay.
We've failed over to the standby system, so I have a wee bit of breathing room - but I'm going to be away for 4 days and will have to get back on this when I get back. I'm a little puzzled that I can fix it for a short while and then it breaks again.

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.

ORA-39002: invalid operation
ORA-39070: Unable to open the log file.
I have give all sharing rights on d:expimp directory. My main question is why i'm getting this error. Is there any thing missing in setup. how to take export on windows 7 client.
I've read a lot about the different types of backup available with Oracle (hot and cold backup). However, I was thinking of a different way of performing this task. I'm currently using Windows Server 2008 R2 and Oracle 11g Standard Edition. I'd like to schedule an entire backup of my server via the utility "Windows Server Backup" (available for free).That way, I could recover my entire server with all the programs and files in case the latter crashes.I'm wondering if this solution could be used as a way of backing up (and recovering) the Oracle database. Should I still set up a regular hot backup with the Archivelog mode enabled in case some operations/transactions were being done at the time of the crash (for the data integrity)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI set 'maxopenfiles 4' when allocating channel to sbt in my products env, I got 2 backup pieces in one backup set because that tablespace has 7 datafiles. Other configuration is kept as default, such as no maxsize, no MAXPIECESIZE, and etc setting.
I read document from Oracle. It says:"By default a backup set contains one backup piece. To restrict the size of each backup piece, specify the MAXPIECESIZE option of the CONFIGURE CHANNEL or ALLOCATE CHANNEL commands. " And also, maxopenfiles configure does not force another backup piece generated. So, why do I get another backup piece?
BTW, I tried this on another testing environment. I only get one backup piece even there are more than 2 times maxopnefiles datafiles.
I have the RMAN full database backup of oracle 10g (10.2.0.3) on Sun Solaris OS which i want to restore on oracle 11g (11.2.0.3) on Linux OS. The backup pieces was transferred to oracle 11g server manually in binary mode.

the file is not corrupted as i checked the checksum on both the servers and it is same.how can i restore the RMAN oracle 10g backup in Oracle 11g.
When you create a backup in SQL Server, whether the backup is on disk or on tape, SQL Server writes the letters TAPE to the first four bytes of the backup. Does Oracle write any specify value to the front of every backup, and if so, what are the first four bytes?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe 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.
db can only be opened if all the datafile and controlfiles are synchronize.I wonder if db crash and we dont have any kind of backup. is there some way to synchronize the control file with the datafile?....any way.db is not idle either when crashes we can manage data lose.just want our database open

is it possible to use this .dbf files into new server and recover my data.
Yesterday my colleague noticed that, the complete data (1 year) got missed out from a table and the data is available only from last friday.
And then we restroed the data from the backup.
Now we have been asked to find out who has deleted or truncated the data? But in the database, audit is enabled only to log sys operations.
So is there any way to find who ran the delete or truncate command on this DCA_CLA_BATCH table on friday?
SQL> show parameter audit
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ -------------------------------- ------------------------------
audit_file_dest string /dborafiles/edcap/edcapd/adump
audit_sys_operations boolean TRUE
audit_syslog_level string
audit_trail string OS
Replication happens across the servers to make sure that the data is the same (synchronized). If one of the server crashes and later recovers, does it need to repair the data to keep them in sync with the other servers?

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.
