we have scheduled cold backup for our database. is there any solution to resolve below mentioned errors other than RMAN hot backup or shutdown abort ?

Difference between cold backup and cold cloning?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an oracle 8i recovery scenario. I have database cold backups of MONDAY and WEDNESDAY evenings. backup contains control files, data files, redo files
Database runs in Archive log mode and all archives of the month are available. Hard disk crashed on SATURDAY
all archive logs are still available at different location. Control files are not backed up to trace or file name or automatically means no backup control file (except ones in cold backups described above)
restoring all files from cold backup of either MONDAY or WEDNESDAY (I recovered to Wednesday) leaves nothing to recover. Querying V$RECOVER_FILE returns nothing. All log sequences higher to the number nnn displayed as result of ARCHIVE LOG LIST are present at correct location in correct format
My question is how do i ROLL Forward the Database from WEDNESDAY to SATURDAY in the above scenario.
I've got a database I need to restore from a cold backup, but I don't have a copy of the multiplexed members of the redo groups - each group has 2 members, and we've only got a backup of the first.
I know this won't stop the database from starting, and I can recreate them, but for ease can you copy and rename a redo log file from a multiplexed copy to correct location like you can with a control file?
We are having 10gR2 DR setup,
We are planning for the cold backup of primary database on every sunday,
Does it going to affect DR sync if primary database is not availabe at the time of cold backup.
Does the full cold backup of rman include online redologs?
So that at the time of recovery when i restore the database the online redologs also restored to that point?
There is schedule cold backup was not taken successfully due to some DBF files are skipped and it would not copied to destination location? destination location is same server itself not for another remote server.
Total - 35 DBF files,
skipped - 4 DBF files
what could be issues? what are the points should be troubleshooting?
oracle 10.2.1 under windows 7 , today my friend format the server , but he have backup cold backup actually he take backup for all c:\ drive and i found that there is a oradata dir in this backup , so now i install new operating system win 7 and then i will create a database with the same name and then should i do a NID and restore the backup (cold)
how to do that ? i mean if i have database 10g under windows and this o.s is formatted we have backup of all c:\ drive which contain all oradata dir ? how can i restore this database
the database size is 3GB and contain the same default tablespace system,sysaux,undo,temp,users?
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.....
i install oracle 10g on linux on perform the following step but my database is not auto start with the machine
Automatic startup and shutdown oracle on linux Oracle database server provides two scripts to configure automatic database startup and shutdown process.
The scripts are,
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut
Now let's look at unix level script. When a unix machine boots it runs scripts beginning with Snnname in /etc/rc3.d.
-Here the number nn indicates the order in which these scripts will be run. The name just indicates the function of the script.
In the same way shutdown scripts are named as Knnname which are run from /etc/rc0.d.
If we want that Oracle is the last program that is automatically started, and it is the first to be shutdown then we will name the startup and shutdown scripts on OS like /etc/rc3.d/S99oracle and /etc/rc0.d/K01oracle respectively.
The database script dbstart and dbora will be called from OS script /etc/rc3.d/S99oracle and /etc/rc0.d/K01oracle respectively.
Note that dbstart and dbshut take each SID, in turn, from the /etc/oratab file and startup or shutdown the database.
Automate Startup/Shutdown of Oracle Database on Linux
Step 01: Be sure that oratab file is correct and complete.
Check for oratab file either in /etc/oratab or in /var/opt/oracle/oratab.
Database entries in the oratab file have the following format:
$ORACLE_SID:$ORACLE_HOME:Y
Here Y indicates that the database can be started up and shutdown using dbstart/dbshut script.
If in my database there is two database named arju and arjudup then my oratab file will contain the entry like,
arju:/var/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:Y
arjudup:/var/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:Y
where /var/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 is the $ORACLE_HOME of my database.
Step 02: Create a script to call dbstart and dbshut. In this example I will create one script that will do both startup and shutdown operation. I will name this script as dbora and will be placed in '/etc/init.d'.
a) Login as root.
b) Change directories to /etc/init.d
c) Create a file called dbora and chmod it to 750.
# touch dbora
# chmod 750 dbora
d)Edit the dbora file and make the contents of it like below.

My scenario is: database is in archivelog mode.
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.

Active Session History (ASH) performed an emergency flush. This may mean that ASH is undersized. If emergency flushes are a recurring issue, you may consider increasing ASH size by setting the value of ASHSIZE to a sufficiently large value. Currently, ASH size is 50331648 bytes. Both ASH size and the total number of emergency flushes since instance startup can be monitored by running the following query:

we have two primary databases (Oracle release 9.2.0.8, HP-UX 11.31) installed on the same server. The corresponding standby-databases (Oracle release 9.2.0.8, HP-UX 11.31)are configured on one server, too.It happens once in a while that the server of the standby-databases struggles and performs a shutdown. The primary- and standby-databases are configured with Data Guard. If the server of the standy-databases is not reachable anymore that should not really cause any problems,meaning that both primary databases can be used as usual. One of our primary database behaves like this: the applications can connect to the database and work like as expected. The other primary database behaves different: the applications can't connect anymore. But the database is still up and running. When looking at the alert.log file the following messages can be found:

Log actively being archived by another process Trying to connect to the database is not possible - the database seems to be busy with something... We have two archiver processes for each primary database. One process of the primary database which can't be reached anymore seems to hang. Executing the command SQL> alter system archive log all;seems to run forever. Instead of shutting down ands starting the instance killing one of the archiver-processes solves the issue. Maybe some of you have made the same experiences? I do not understand why the one database doesn't have any issues (which is expected behaviour) but the other database is not reachable anymore due to some issue with the archiving process.

We have 2 Unix SunOS server, named as SUNOS01 and SUNOS02, there is some space need to add in SUNOS02 and for that I have to bring Database down on SUNOS02. When I checked I found that the DB is pointing to SUNOS01, i.e. there is no DB on SUNOS02, So, Do I required to shutdown the DB on SUNOS01 or it is not required to do anything from Database side. I mean to say should I ask Unix team to bring down the unix server and add the space.Also, if DB shutdown is not required then what I have to do afetr they have added space and bring the server up from DB side.

I have configured data Guard on oracle 11gR2. It is working fine. The only issue i am facing is that when i am stopping the database on the primary server, it is taking a long long time to down the database.
Is it normal?
Furthermore, regarding backup i used veritas Netbackup to perform hotbackup. Can i still used the same principle.
I was monitoring a database job to collect statistics, it was scheduled using DBMS_JOBS..I found that it was running during business hours so i got the session ID of the job using;
select sid from dba_jobs_running where job=11;
I then i killed the job using;
select serial# from v$session where sid =232;
alter system kill session '232, 10852';
select sid from dba_jobs_running where job=11;
no rows selected...After some time i again fired the same command
select sid from dba_jobs_running where job=11;
SID
----------
232
and found that the same job is again running..This behavior was repeated again N again. i have attached the spool file for the same...
what could be the reason that the job is starting all over again even after killing the session and what should be done to stop it..I understand that once the database shuts down and if the job is still running then it will restart once the database is up..In this case, Should i remove the job and re submit it again..
