Backup & Recovery :: Change Archive Log Mode During DB Running?
Aug 24, 2011
changing archive mode during DB running.Before in 9.2, 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG START/STOP' is available for this job. But, after 10g/11g, it cause 'archive log stop has been deprecated'.
However, for my practice, I need to estimate archived logs size before backup them, so I need to stop archive log for a while and enable it later during DB running.
I check Oracle documents, it only mentions changing archive log mode at DB mounted but not open.
this my f drive space is full so i want to change this my archive destination to my another g drive so how can i do this.and if i change this my archive destination does its affect any problem while recover my database in future.
I have a scenario like while taking the hot backup i forgot put end backup mode,at the same time one of user u1 updating some lacks of recordsinto the T1 table.at some time he wants rollback.and my redolog file size is very less.is it possible to rollback? if yes how?
Is there any way I can get all the archive log files present in a backup piece. I tried following but it always gives me all the log files for each piece:
**** SQL> select s.set_stamp, s.set_count, s.PIECES, s.backup_type, s.controlfile_included from v$backup_set s, v$backup_piece p where s.set_stamp=p.set_stamp and s.set_count=p.set_count and p.handle='5mjv4do0_1_1';
Actually, i have test database open in read only and i want to apply archive files carry from production database at daily level. When i'm going for recovery, since database is already in consistent state, it is not asking for recovery.
I had a production db with archive logging enabled
SQL> select name,status 2 from v$archived_log;
NAME STATUS ---------------------------------------- - D:ORACLEARCHIVE_ORCL11_13.DBF A D:ORACLEARCHIVE_ORCL11_14.DBF A D:ORACLEARCHIVE_ORCL11_15.DBF A

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; 6> }
There is a archive log backupset,and the backup set contains many archive log file,and now i want extract to a directory,how can i do?

There is an incident that in production database 1000 archive log files generated.From 1000 files, 100 archive log files have been removed.When i take incremental backup next day , what will happen in database?
Starting restore at 18-AUG-11 released channel: c1 RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 08/18/2011 09:20:21 RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20242: specification does not match any archive log in the recovery catalog
how i can change backup datafile name into its original file name,bcoz at time backup datafile name is different and how i can change that name into its original datafile name so i apply recovery command in user managaed recovery..
We have a nightly rman backup that was complete and clean.The backup contains a Data File, Control File and a backup Archive Log file.The database server crashed with all the subsequent archive logs lost.
We are trying to recover from the three backup files.We are bumping into the backup piece missing as all the archive logs are done. how to restore with the exising backup files. the lost archive logs are probably salvageable.
We are using OCI call library to connect to Oracle database through one application. When we try to run this application through valgrind( a memory leak detection tool for linux) then, OCIServerAttach() call is failing to connect to db and it says that "ORA-1034 :Oracle not available"," Oracle instance may be down", etc. However, our oracle instance is running and database is open. When we run our application normally ( not through the tool) then everything is working fine.
I have a RUN file within a script to duplicate a database. As part of this RUN file I also run the command configure controlfile autobackup off; as part of this RUN file. However, this command has turned off backup of the control file on the AUXILLARY database (i.e. production) as well as the TARGET database (test). Is this supposed to happen?
My run file is:
rman TARGET sys/XXXX@${DB}-SOURCE AUXILIARY / RUN { allocate AUXILIARY channel a1 type disk; allocate AUXILIARY channel a2 type disk; allocate AUXILIARY channel a3 type disk; allocate AUXILIARY channel a4 type disk;
Quote: A.2.2 Writing Backup Scripts for Disk and Tape Scenarios
As in the disk-only scenarios, the backup scripts in this section are categorized based on database workload. as stated very clearly it depends on the workload, more precisely the rate of block change. The size of the database can be found out based on formula from
[URL]....
so how would I know the rate of block change in order to know which script is suitable for me? I try to find out the rate of block change for the database based on change tracking file but based on
[URL].....
Quote:
The size of the change tracking file is proportional to the size of the database and the number of enabled threads of redo. The size is not related to the frequency of updates to the database. So how do I determine the rate of change? can the rate of block change based on size of archive logs?
I have the following information with me:
starting from 5/10/2011 0101 ending 5/18/2011 1114
average size of each file 27,942,770,176/1644 =16996818.841849148418491484184915
average size of each day's log = 27,942,770,176/9.5 =2941344229.0526315789473684210526 about 3G
If I have a database size of 92G, based on the archive log size of about 3G per day, can I conclude that a change of 3G/92G is considered as few block change?
i want to enable block change tracking as our incremental level1 backup take a lot of time but i have a worry which i found it on oracle support and tha is as follows Database Instance Hang at Database Checkpoint With Block Change Tracking Enabled. [ID 1326886.1]
and for such order i noticed that block change tracking file wasn't used for any cumulative backup. for each cumulative backup was done full scan over database.
it was used after i did incremental level 0 backup, and again incremental 1 cumulative.
if i want this feature to be usefull i should enable it before my incremental level 0, or i should do incremental level 0 immediately after i enable it?
